Since k is a 4-character field, a "normal" keystroke will end up
with that keystroke followed by 3 spaces.  (ie: pressing "u" will
cause field k to contain "u   ".)

[...]

I'm not sure what you mean by "pushing down in dropdown menus", but
the reason for 3 characters being blanked out is described above.  It
may also be the cause of other problems, but without specifics, I can
only guess.
