The behaviour is caused by line 549 in stataMode.tcl:

     binding create -tag Stta -help "Electric right" {s ')'} 
Stta::electricRight

I suspect this is just a wrong conversion from old to new
key binding syntax.

Perhaps the right binding would be

     binding create -tag Stta -help "Electric right" {sv 0x1e} 
Stta::electricRight

but this is just a guess --- I don't know anything about stata.

Cheers,
Joachim.
