Exactly.....I have never seen this before either in my numerous years of using
WL.
Just as a check, I fired up DX4WIN. It does NOT repeat the F keys in the CW
keyer of DX4WIN if I hold down an F key. So there is another reference point.
Then I switched back to Writelog, sure enough holding down any F key caused
that specific message to repeat. Strange.
Let's see if any other folks noticing this. I'm up to the very latest version
of Writelog. They did an update concerning Winkey in that specific version:
12.31 August, 2018
Fix WriteLog hang if WinKey USB port or SO2R box interface is removed while
WriteLog is running.
Just wondering (because I use Winkey), if that update has anything to do with
the F keys sticking because this has never happened before..... Wayne W5XD ???
Fair question.

This is more a function of Windows than WL. If you hold down a key in Word,
you will get a repeating character. I am a bit surprised the F-key seems
"sticky" if you let go (requiring the escape). That could be a WL issue.
I have never seen this in my years of using WL.
