Has anyone ever experienced this?

I have created a couple of simple macros. M1 starts everything up and M4 shuts everything down. What I have noticed is that they don't always work. I was playing around tonight and found that if the remote is back-lit the macros don't work. If I wait for the back-lighting to turn off and then press the macro key, it works. Is this a feature or a problem?
