Bug of keyboard keys involved in Elephant

Hello, I like this program. But there is one annoying ?bug.

there is a frequent glitch - when typing text on the keyboard, the keys used for the elephant toggle dial for midi then start to fail when typing, and so on "lewdness". 
even when the keyboard layout is switched to another language.

to fix - then you need to close the elephant process in the task manager. ?or use keyboard shortcuts with modifiers - but it's not convenient.

here is a picture with my settings (I use dial only for midi)

I also would like a checkmark to appear in the elephant settings so that the dial option when starting the preset is enabled by default (as in picture 2)

Hello
So you said....... if you use the keyboard to type for some long time, then the hotkeys used on elephant for switch to MIDI values, not work nore and you have to restart the program?
Please confirm.

Need to know, al the info about your Windows version, and OS config, as language and hardware used.

Thank you for quick response!

I may have put it wrong - Elephant is just fine - the hotkeys work as they should. But now it becomes impossible to print with these keys - they either do not work, or other glitches appear. When you delete the Elephant process from the task manager, then everything is fine. but then Elefant himself does not work anymore. this is such a vicious circle.

and this bug is shown in 80% from 100 possible. I tried to experiment to understand why sometimes everything works fine, but I couldn't.

in principle, it is clear that there may be a conflict with other applications - but in this case it turns out that there is a conflict with all applications where you need to print using the keys assigned in Elephant

Windows 10 22H2 education 19045.2604

I turned on Sherlock Holmes mode and spent another hour on research and found the culprit - it was the program in the tray Qtranslate, which conflicts with Elephant.
and exactly in the highlighted text translation mode.
So for now the solution is to temporarily disable its functions while I am typing.

I'm glad I found the problem and that I saved you the time of searching for the cause

Cheers!))

I also would like a checkmark to appear in the elephant settings so that the dial option when starting the preset is enabled by default (as in picture 2)

It would be great if you find time in the future to make a checkbox in the settings to run in midi mode with the dial selector already enabled. Thank you!

I mark this as fixed, not is a problem from Elephant and nobody report a problem like this.
Thanks for the update.
