[Elecraft] K3: Duration of button press 'beep' varies

On my K3/100, firmware 4.05, I've noticed some odd behavior with the audio
confirmation beeps depending on how long I hold or tap a button.

if I tap a button "normally" -- which I'd describe as a very brief hold-down
on the button -- the length of the confirmation beep tone is consistent.

If I tap a button as briefly as possible -- i.e. punch it and release, with
no dwell time in the pressed position -- the confirmation beep tone is
sometimes lengthened.

It's inconsistent.

One of the most prominent examples is when I have noise reduction (NR)
engaged and I tape the A/B button (alt function on keypad "1").  The
confirmation tone is often drawn out for a relatively long time.

I don't think this is a huge problem, but it's strange behavior.  I'd expect
a confirmation beep to be consistent, rather than dependent on the manner or
context in which a button is pressed.

Has anyone else noticed it?
