STECS Button presses are doubling up.

Disclaimer: I only got my unit the other week so still getting familiar with the config options but I have nevertheless not been able to correct this problematic behaviour.

When I click a button it commonly registers as being clicked twice, sometimes even 3 times within in my case MSFS, eg configuring flaps to a button moves the flaps lever 1 time, next time round it does it 2-3 times, it's intermittent and inconsistent. It's not exclusive to flaps either, does it on every mapping.
In spad.next when pressing a button it illuminates on the GUI which button is being pressed and there you can see this erratic behaviour showing in the way the press illuminates, it sometimes illuminates once, sometimes it flickers 2-3 times. And yes it's a single button press.
At first I thought this was just the way it behaves in spad.next but I don't think it's right, when I have the bottom left up/down switch in any position btw it constantly flickers that button. Also the dial switch next to the throttle in any of its 5 positions also constantly flickers. I would assume it should be a solid illumination instead.
The reason why I'm convinced this is illumination should be solid is because I also have the gunfighter, there the problem does not manifest itself, no double clicks resulting from a single click and also the buttons in spad.next on that device do light up solidly, no flicker at all there.

Also in case you assume that it's spad.next being used every time, it's not. I can opt to no use spad.next at all in MSFS and the flaps behaviour as described above for example happens with direct button mappings in msfs as well.

Is this a config setting I need to fix up, or is my unit faulty? :(

Thanks.

For anyone having the same issue with spad.next downgrading to 0.9.15.0 resolved the problem.
