It was a a relatively lengthy thread a few months ago with no (AFAIK) solution, other than "will be fixed in the future". It has to do with depressing three keys at a time. It takes a little getting used to, but now, except for the occasional moment of serious energy, I no longer strike three simultaneous keys on my Sawtooth.
