Now I was sleuthing the bit codes for all those keys and from what I see, the common denominator is bit 5.
On those keys, a bit 5 SPACE is being turned into a MARK. On other characters where bit 5 is *supposed* to be a Mark, they are typing fine.
AND... it's not doing it on ALL the keys where switching bit5 from S to M would change the character. For example, typing C does not change to V.
I can also see that these affected characters happen to lie in the center four columns on each side of the typebox (middle four for the FIGS section, & middle four for the LTRS section.)
The bit 5 code bar is NOT stuck. I can see it freely running back & forth between M & S.
So the question is: what could be causing a MARK to be sent on bit 5 in cases where it should be a SPACE?
Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions appreciated
