Oh, OK. I thought you were being facetious. Sorry. I'll try that
tonight at home and let you know. My off-the-top-of-my-head memory is
that it doesn't matter whether the second string is the same as the
first, but I could be wrong. As I say, I'll let you know.

I think it happens quite a lot. At least, I found it
happened often enough to be infuriating when I was playing with JIDX
this weekend, sufficiently so that -- as I said earlier -- I dug out
a very old TR that is my standard "emergency" version and used that
for the rest of the contest.

OH! I just read my TRLOG mail and it looks like the whole issue is
settled.
Incidentally, yes I discovered that ESC worked, and I should have
mentioned that in my original post. Unfortunately, if one is in S&P
mode you can't use ESC because that puts you back into CQ mode as
well.
Anyway, I'm glad you've found the problem and I look forward to the
next release.
