Thanks Tom for the clarification! It's indeed RECALL_MULTS that interferes when used with Tab instead of Enter. I was able to reproduce it with Adam's setup, while in my case it worked as I wasn't using this feature. (and was using the Enter+Enter sequence)
btw while testing I realized that tlf -f myconfig.dat doesn't work, only tlf -fmyconfig.dat This one needs a fix, too. 73, Zoli On Mon, Jul 01, 2019 at 08:28:25PM +0200, Thomas Beierlein wrote: > Hi Adam and Zoli, > > maybe I can add some additional information related to the exchange > problem. > > Adam as Zoli told you the normal sequence is just to press ENTER after > entering the call and again after the exchange.
