Not at all.  It's just that you failed to make the needed user key assignment.
Each key has six user-definable functions associated with it:

	1.  Unshifted
	2.  Left-shifted
	3.  Right-shifted
	4.  Alpha-shifted
	5.  Alpha-left-shifted
	6.  Alpha-right-shifted

where the indicated digit is the tenths digit of the key number you use in
making the assignment.  Therefore, if you press a key in user mode when alpha
shift is on, you are asking for a different user key than if alpha shift is
off.  If none has actually been assigned, you get the default action for that
key.
