The easiest way to duplicate this is to press any key twice fast. Imagine entering NN0H quickly. Pressing the N key twice in a row pretty reliably produces 4 N’s in the CALLSIGN field. If I try entering callsigns basically at a quick but comfortable pace, I get odd behavior: extra copies, missed characters (keyboard registers the press but the characters don’t appear in HAMRS).
I’m using the Amazon store version, on a Fire HD 8 Plus tablet (2020 version). That’s a brand new tablet. I don’t get this behavior in other apps. I rebooted the app, even tried turning tablet off and rebooting. I cannot recreate the error in any app other than HAMRS.
I’ve already purchased both the iOS and Amazon versions of HAMRS. I suppose I could get t the Android version and give it a shot on the tablet (trifecta!), just to see if it is software dependent and not just the tablet? Ha. I do like to support developers.
Unrelated: I also notice the popup boxes with QRZ data stack above each other. If I type slowly, as if I’m getting only part of a callsign, I get a QRZ result for the partial callsign. Then I get another one for the rest of the callsign. That’s an issue when using the tablet in vertical orientation, because the QRZ boxes coverup the RST boxes. A setting to turn off those boxes (or at least keep them confined to the corner of the screen) would be handy.
