There is definitely a program problem here. The version I encountered was
a situation where I was cqing and for some reason didn't get to hit enter
after entering a call. If I hit tab instead, the program shifts to S&P
mode and puts the cursor in front of the expected exchange from the
database. If I then type in the number and precedence, and hit enter, it
writes the exchange info into the callsign field.

Others have reported that this is when this overwrite problem happens --
when the cursor winds up before the antciipated exchange. Normally, the
cursor goes after the expected check and section, and since TR understands
the SS exchange pretty well, it can take the elements in different order as
long as you run the number and precedence together.
