Yeah... there are still bugs :)   I know of a few:

1) I've had assertions fail when getting break messages while typing. 
     (Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this under labortory conditions)

2) The cursor has never been positioned correctly when DFU starts.  (I
      know that both Mike and Jay have looked at this problem, nobody has
      ever solved it... heh)

3) The END key still occasionally positions to the wrong place in SEU.
      (it goes to the end of the field instead of the position following
      the last nonblank character)  Again, I haven't been able to figure
      out a pattern to this -- it works as it should most of the time.

4) The problem you're describing here...   also unable to reproduce this
      again, after I first had the problem :)


(insert witty conclusion here)
