Hi, I've recently put together a setup with a tactile/momentary switch, latching switch, and Arduino Nano using an altered version of the All Effects sketch from this site.  However, although the tactile switch works perfectly in toggling from one sketch to another, the latching switch has a peculiar tendency to pause the effect when I power it off (it powers on fine).  Of note, the power LED on the Arduino itself shows on and off when I push and release the latching switch, but when in the off position it pauses the sketch.  I was told by a friend this shouldn't be happening since the VIN input on the Arduino shouldn't be affected by code.  Hopefully someone here can help me, as it would not be very product friendly to have to manually unplug the adapter from the DC jack every time you want to power off :)  Thanks in advance!

Here is a "schematic" of my setup to the best of my knowledge:

latching switch schematic

Here's the code (I've posted this before, but for convenience sake, here it is in full):

#include "FastLED.h"
#include <EEPROM.h>

#define BUTTON 2

  FastLED.addLeds<WS2811, PIN, GRB>(leds, NUM_LEDS).setCorrection( TypicalLEDStrip );
  pinMode(2,INPUT_PULLUP); // internal pull-up resistor
  attachInterrupt (digitalPinToInterrupt (BUTTON), changeEffect, CHANGE); // pressed
  digitalWrite(2, HIGH);       // turn on pullup resistors
  delay(100); // little 100ms delay before attaching the interrupt for the button
   
}
