Pomera DM250 Shift Issue?
I'm in the States and just got my DM250 (Japanese edition). I got it new off of ebay for a reasonable price -- nothing out-of-this-world, but fair. I think I've worked out some of the kinks everyone mentions (the "ALT + next to esc" was a game-changer). I think I will miss the Word Count feature more than I'll know -- but I get it, using a device geared toward the Japanese language.
Yet, I'm having an issue I haven't run across yet. Whenever I use the shift keys (either right or left), the devices locks in the SHift for two keystrokes. For example, when I type the Preamble for the Declaration of Independence (using the standard capitalization), I get this result:
>WE hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their CReator with certain unalienable RIghts, that among these are LIfe, LIberty and the pursuit of HAppiness. (bold for emphasis, obviously)
It also happens with the # or ( ), etc keys.
At first, I thought I was just really fast and held the SHift key down as I typed RIghts, etc... but even if I Hold Shift+R then wait a few seconds, the I is automatically capitalized. There's also a little Down Arrow that appears next to the "A" in the lower right hand side of the status bar. It goes away after the second character (or spacebar) is pressed.
Now that I'm monking with it, when I save (Ctrl + S), that some Down Arrow also appears.
I know that it will all work itself out in editing, but is there something simple I'm missing? TIA!
