task launches Pandora as side-effect

[John Eldredge]

For some reason, which I have not been able to figure out, the task shown in the screenshots launches Pandora, an unwanted side-effect.  The final three steps in the task, 20 - 22. launching and then pausing the default media player, is a work-around I added to pause Pandora, as Tasker can't kill Pandora (it runs partly as a service, and Tasker can't kill services). They aren't the reason Pandora is being launched. I am using version 4.9u4 of Tasker, the current version in the Play Store, on an unrooted LG G5 phone running Android 7.  Can anyone tell me why Pandora is launched every time this task is run?

I just installed the Tasker beta 5.0u5, and this Pandora-launching behavior no longer shows up. So, it was evidently a bug in the previous stable version, which has been cured in the beta.

I have tracked down the issue. Turning car mode on with Tasker, and subsequently turning car mode off with Tasker, launches Pandora. This bug is also present in the stable version currently in the Play Store.

But why Pandora specifically?

No idea, but it is consistent.

So far, 5.0b6 appears to have solved the Pabdora-launching.
