That behavior indicates that the dot and dash contacts are connected 
together somewhere.  It could be at the paddle, in the cable, or at the

You can confirm that by checking continuity between the tip and ring of 
the stereo plug - they should show infinite resistance, but in your case 
I think you will find it to be close to zero ohms.
