LF2XT: bugs in UI?

[axd]

Recently bought a LF2XT (thx Ku - waiting for the 3H!), love the puzzle.

Then I programmed following FUI config (5 modes): lo-slow beacon-strobe-random strobe-SOS

Days later, still playing with the light, I wanted to change mode 2 to double flash beacon.

When entering programming mode (3C+PH), I could not switch to frequency adjust (4C) - was stuck in brightness adjust.

The light would keep single flash with est. 0.5 sec spacing, unable to change the frequency of the strobe; brt was fine.

Was also unable to change type (PH): this mode was stuck in beacon.

Finally, did a factory reset and now was able to reprogram, then modify as desired.

Strange.

I've never had this happen, but I have had it stick "on", and been unable to turn it off. It seems to have happened once or twice after changing the battery. I would screw the head on and the light would just come on by itself. This was remedied by unscrewing the switch end, then tightening back up. Maybe doing this with the switch will fix your problem if it crops up again.

Same or similar, when screwing the head down. Its happened multiple times, but after re-seating its good.

I've had similar problems in the past. I don't recall exactly what though. I just remember entering programming mode and getting stuck somewhere... and it not allowing me to enter something for some change I wanted. All I'd do is 3C to exit without saving, and re-enter programming and try again. I've always been able get to where I needed to get to, eventually. I've never determined if was me or the light.
