Dave, this only seems to happen when I am in QSO, so I have filled in the log with callsign, and maybe name. The first qso exchange is done by macro, and then on the second transmission which is by keyboard is where I have consistantly encountered this. I see it when I try to type from the very upper left hand spot, and I try to type the other stations call sign in caps. I generally have found this when the other station is typing, and I am trying to type ahead at the same time (I am a slow typer, and need to buffer before transmitting). The receive (yellow screen) buffer generally has a lot of past data in it. So guessing, it could be something left over in the blue screen from the macro transmission, but I thought that was cleared on <RX>, it could have something to do with typing while in sync and receiving. I know this has happened in PSK31, but I think other modes as well, just not sure. I will keep better notes now that I know it is not just me.
