[WriteLog] Two WriteLog / MMTTY issues

Hi Folks,

I ran WriteLog 11.18C this past weekend, with MMTTY as my primary, and
2-Tone in a clone window.  I'm running FSK (not AFSK) through a
microKEYER.

I noticed two differences between how I remember WriteLog working
(I've noticed these before with 11.17):

1.  When I type ALT-K to type in a message, then ALT-K to close it,
PTT usually de-asserts at the end of that message.  But many times it
did NOT do this, and I had to hover over the ESC key to stop
transmission when PTT was stuck on.  Did anyone else notice this, or
are there now situations where PTT will not automatically de-assert
(i.e. when you're in the middle of logging a QSO, vs. not being)?

2.  When running MMTTY in AFC mode, MMTTY would would drift until it
centered on a new caller.  I send the exchange.  Now during the time
I'm copying the other station's exchange, the AFC button use to be
OUT, in other words, MMTTY was locked.  Then after I sent the TU QRZ
MMTTY would go back into AFC.  I did not see the AFC button ever
"locking" while receiving the exchange.  Is this something different
resulting from the new OFX (?) interface between WriteLog and MMTTY?
