I'm not sure what you mean by "using the RoutiingKey2 definition". This is probably simply because I haven't had to look at Papenmeier model definitions for a rather long time so please explain (i.e. remind me).

Could you please capture a debug log (as that'll help us have a look at what's going on)? To do so, use at least these two options:

   -L/path/to/logfile (that's an uppercase -L)
   -ldebug,inpkts,brlkeys (that's a lowercase -l)

While you're capturing the log, press a few of the RoutingKey1 keys and then a few of the RoutingKey2 keys. When you post the log (as an attachment to a message to this list is fine), let us know which keys you pressed and in which order you pressed them.

>Is there any solution for this? 

Let's have a look at the log and see.

On this list there's no need for such apologies. We're here to help.
