Dial button sometimes does not press

I am wondering if anybody else having this issue. Sometimes when I click on the file that I wanted to print, button does not work in the first and sometimes the second press, then 3rd press works.

Does it have something to do wth the file name?

Yes, that can happen, along with the clocks on the rotary encoder not being registered.

I tend to avoid the LCD as much as possible (OctoPrint...).

Instead of rasperry pi, I have installed octoprint to my old macbook A1181 but after that I realized that I can use Pronterface instead of octoprint and connect to my laptop via teamviewer.

This looks like a better solution to me, what is your opinion?

Pi. Low current draw (cheap to run) and not subject to reboots/hibernation and such which would ruin a print.

The Pi can also be powered from the printer (via a small buck regulator) and attached to the frame and can be installed with a camera and connected to by any device with a browser without third-party interference.

I noticed that if I press it too fast that sometimes happens for me. I press and hold for half a second and have not seen the issue since.
