yes, I usually set it to on released for single button presses.

You can use a wait until to wait until the button is not pressed at the bottom of the logic block code.

That is intended. You could follow redSprite’s advice or you can use the On Button Pressed block to run code only when the button goes from not pressed to pressed. The little Boolean insert “Is Button Pressed” block will be “true” as long as the button is pushed down and “false” only when the button is not being held down.
