Enigma Wheels Bugged?

Hi all,

First post here after downloading SH5 with WOS for the first time.

Been having a blast understanding Enigma and finally figured out the code and managed to crack the first message.

The only problem I'm having is that when I go to go type the message out (either with keyboard or with the ingame keys), the wheels on the Enigma machine change with every key press! So the code being GDGB won't stay that way because every time I hit a key the last wheel ascends in the alphabet and then after around four ascensions, the second ring will also begin to change upward. It's incredibly frustrating because I really love the idea and execution of the mod.

Have I done something wrong?

Everything is normal.

This is how the enigma machine works, with each letter you type the right wheel will spin.
The 2nd wheel will turn once when the right wheel has made a complete revolution.
