Recently installed 16.4.4. Expert a/p mode. I routinely decouple trk/hdg with the ap panel basically leaving a/p in altitude hold while I meander around the sky viewing the scenery or allowing a passenger to steer the aircraft. After 16.4.4 the trk/hdg buttons will now not disengage either mode when depressing. I am able to engage with either button. Using through efis, the on screen trk/hdg buttons work normally. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
A/P control panel issue after 16.4.4 installation

I have recently installed Dynon and I am learning the system. I have the same issue and thought I was doing something wrong. I ended up having to turn off the A/P and also the flight director to get it disconnected. Did you find out what solved the problem?

Yep, changed in v16.4.0:
"Changed: To turn off a single axis of autopilot in expert mode, a 2 second press/hold is now required. This reduces the opportunity to accidentally disengage one axis by pushing a mode button that is already engaged."
