That's precisely what makes the pot fail. There's situations where you can't turn it any further left or right. A rotary encoder turns forever.Why must it be able to turn more left or right, as long as it can be turned to all the defined selections?
Because the value displayed won't always match the position of the pot.
The display/pot get out of sync when you go to submenus. You end up in situations where you might want to turn the pot left but it's already fully left so you can't.
