Weird Key Combinations Cause things that shouldn't happen...

Most of this happened in 3.05a and 3.06. But one of them has happened in 3.07!

These are mostly things that happened once. And most did not reoccur. So it could just be an error.

Error 1: Conspiracy (Scrnshot attached)
FO Version: 3.07
Scenario: Instant Action, playing one of my custom maps.

What happened: I bought  supplies (I cant remember how many) at my original starbase, shortly afterward I decide to type in something funny just for typing it in. This is the message I put in:
code-doubletavarbird9665-8rom-eatdispicard4
Shortly afterward I got to build a Tavara, at first things looked normal. But once completed 4 Tavaras came out at once. I've mentioned this when I posted my screen shot before, but I just wanted to point it out again. I was able to win the game with all 4 Tavaras still alive, but the Admiral's log confirmed only one, the one I was originally building.

Error 2: "Transformer"
FO version: 3.05a
Scenario: Instant Action, Playing Blue Amber

What happened: This I don't have a shot of because of it crashing after it happened. But this is what went on. I was playing against AI Merciless Dom, I was Feds. I paused the game shortly, but when I resumed all the units were swapped! I couldn't believe it! All units were swapped, but then everything in the game exploded including the map objects and thenthe game crashed! This was merely unintenional!
