Good to know I'm not the only one with this ALT-K problem. It does not
happen often, but it happens during the contest ("European V/UHF - no
multiplier" - multi-op/tx - mixed). Same setup as Terry (keying CW
through serial interface RTS/DTR).

Unfortunately I do not remember exactly how to trigger it (otherwise I
probably would have reported the issue already) - I usually switch
between SSB and CW by "CW" on the keyboard or by switching at the radio,
but almost never by ctrl-F1. Using the radio buttons is more likely, as
it usually happens during a QSO I started in SSB (or called CQ) but have
to switch to CW to complete it.

As Terry wrote, it is not a show-stopper at all, as F1 unbreaks it.
