Yes. I think I've seen that on a Digiflo. I put it down to finger trouble
but it happened twice.
Interestingly, after you program the Full setting (rarely used in practice),
the manual advises
"NOTE: Do not turn the power off to the computer for
approximately one minute. This will ensure that the unit has
enough time to store the proper figures into the program."
but it doesn't explicitly say the same for normal pre-flight ops.
