Frustrating: Since v3.2.39 my CW keyer is wonky [6400]

If I hold down the DIT or DAH paddle I can tell that the spacing is not consistent. It's like there is a background task being serviced or something. It's not HUGE, but it makes it impossible to consistently send 4 DITs or DAHs.

I have the paddle key plugged straight in to the 6400. My PC is plenty powerful to run SSDR and I don't have the PC running Photoshop, etc in the background. I'm not even sure that would matter because I think the WinKeyer thing is inside the 6400.

This happens regardless if I am at 10WPM or 30WPM.

Ideas?

    A bit curiuos, have you rebooted your radio recently? One poster on the forum claims that a reboot do clear up the wonky CW, but for a limited period of time.

    Opening a help ticket should give you the fastest assistance!

    @Lasse SM5GLC A power ON/OFF seems to have helped. Thanks. I should have done that in the first place. 🤦‍♂️

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
