Hi Drew, I reproduced these same symptoms on my emulator (Bluezone Mainframe Display from Rocker Software). I had only used Mod2, 4, and 5 setups in the past, but never Model 3. I need to recover my second level VM test environment, to trace what's happening.

Model 4 (43 lines) has a different bug, you probably want to look at that in concert. See #90
