I'm working upon an entirely text-based game within Renpy (due to Renpy being awesome, featuring the programming I am most comfortable with, and an intense dislike of 'you must download an interpreter to play my games' thing that many text games feature). While I have been able to generally create a main menu that works and in-game menu that does what it should do (IE, main menu keymap for B starts the game, O opens the options menu; in-game, space advances until a menu occurs, Q brings to a do-you-want-to-quit screen).
However, when I first arrive at the options screen from the main menu, the keymapped button for R (to go back to the main menu) doesn't work. After selecting one of the colour-changing options (say, pressing 7, which sends it through label option_process), I end up back in the options menu (as intended) and the key-maps then work once more. At that point, however, I can't use the O button to get back to the options menu.
I've included a snippet of screens, with all the stuff on options and main menu (minus some spammy purely text stuff in the main menu that does nothing except display text), in case it might help.
If anyone can help shed some light on where I'm going wrong, I would be eternally grateful!##############################################################################
