Arduino skips case inside the switch

Projects Programming
1

Whenever counter_1 gets the value of 4, Arduino automatically changes that to 1 and so skips the 4th case.

How can I solve this problem?
I m trying to clone time settings of Casio F-91W.
Whenever I push the button, the counter will increase and goes to one left digit that we will change(in this method digits will only blink).
I set 4 cases:

  1. Second digit blink
  2. Minute digit blink
  3. Hour digit blink
  4. No blink

void updateCounter_1() {
counter_1 = counter_1 + 1;
if (counter_1 == 5) {
counter_1 = 1;
}
}

void settTime(){

switch (counter_1) {

case 1:
lcd.setCursor(6, 1);
lcd.print(" ");
delay(150);
updateHrs();
updateMins();
printSecs();
delay(150);
break;

case 2:
lcd.setCursor(3, 1);
lcd.print(" ");
delay(150);
printMins();
delay(150);
break;

case 3:
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print(" ");
delay(150);
printHrs();
delay(150);
break;

case 4:

break;
}
}

The problem is in the part of the code you did not post.

Case 4 does nothing so immediately exits the switch statement, likely so fast that the code detects the button pressed again and goes to case 1.

Agree with david_2018. To compound it the switch is likely bouncing. It would help to see the rest of your code.
