I did hear this was problematic but.. I have had 4 K2’s never had that problem.  Maybe some folks use a 1/4” to 1/8” adapter and the darn thing hangs out too far.
Oh well, my parts list quest moves forward.  
Things to do over the holiday to keep out of the way of the wife..

Otherwise, if you use a different type of microphone, you need to take care for the jumping yourself. The “UNPCB” guy sells a nice jumpering PCB that allows you to easily change the jumper setup for a range of standard mics, suggest you look it up below (look for “Internal Mic Adaptor”):
