The Show/Movie closes after restarting and the screensaver starts

I’m not always one to sit through an entire show or movie without pausing from time to time, but when I’m ready to start the show or movie again after the screensaver has started, my show closes and the currently advertised movie automatically launches instead of unpausing my show. I don’t complain about a lot of things, but this has gotten a little frustrating because I rarely want to start another show or movie in the middle of another. Roku, please fix this so that I can press the * for more information rather than accidentally starting a show with the commonly used play button.

    Pressing Play while the screensaver is active will launch whatever little advertisement is floating by.  Press any other button to dismiss the screensaver and then press Play or switch to a screensaver that doesn't have little advertisements.
