I have a V2 C64, but have a problem when I use a joystick in the joystick
port closest to the FRONT of the C64.  If in basic, moving the joystick or
pressing the fire button causes characters or spaces to appear on the screen.
This is most annoying for games that use both joystick and keyboard input!
I don't think the problem is in the joystick because I have tried two
different joysticks from different manufacturers.

Has anyone else out there experienced similar problems?  Does V3 solve the
problem?  Is my C64 defective, or has Commodore not yet solved the problem?
Thanks for any input you may have.
