[Elecraft] P3 SVGA Self changing tracking mode

Hello all,

I'm seeing an issue on the SVGA side of the P3.

In order to utilize the screen space more effectively I often use the 
CENTER control to shift my TX frequency to the left side up the display 
(when the DX is listening up) to show those calling on the right side of 
the display.   [The alternative is to use the SPAN control, but much of 
the screen is under utilized.]

This works great until I QSY or adjust the RX frequency.  At that point 
the SVGA display no longer synchs with the P3 display so this is limited 
to only the SVGA portion.  The shaded areas shift to anywhere on the 
SVGA display (1024x768), sometimes even swapping sides of the display.  
I have to revert to watching the P3 only.

It stays with an incorrect display on the SVGA until I tap the 
fixed/track tune in the menu.  Then it works properly, until the next 
time I slide the display to the side.

I've not seen this mentioned on the list.  Can someone else confirm this 
behavior?  It appears to be a bug.

I've reloaded the entire P3 firmware package, this situation remains.  
The P3 is functioning properly, this is solely an SVGA issue.

Thanks in advance,
