Flex 5K Internal Keyer Does Not Work

I use a 3 wire paddle with my Flex 5000. I noticed that with the recent version 2.7.2, the keyer no longer works. I have confirmed correct wiring of the paddle, cord, and plug. I have tried several combinations under the keyer menu to no success. The paddle acts like a straight key when one side is pressed to common. The other side pressed to common does nothing. However, iambic works partially, but again only on one side. The keyboard Morse function is unaffected.

    The keyer is not broken in PowerSDR v2.7.2.  I suspect a configuration issue.  In the Setup->DSP-Keyer section, make sure Iambic, Sidetone and Mode B are checked and all other options are un-checked.  On the front console when in CW mode, make sure Break-in is checked.

    I suspect if 2-wire is checked that could cause this.

    OK, I'll see if this fixes it.

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.
