(-) sign pulls up drawing menu

Everytime I use keyboard commands that include a - sign, Civil3D always opens up the drawing menu.

 

For example, if I want to use the layer menu, I typically would put in -la to manage my layers via text commands

However, when I hit - , the drawing menu loads up and I need to escape from it (hitting the escape button 3 times!) before I can continue on my keyboard commands.

 

Is this a setting that I can turn off somewhere?  Thank you.

I get the same problem. Normally with keyboard shortcuts you'll be able to modify them in the CUI, but I think this may be tied to default windows functions and may be accessable through registry only. Can someone from autodesk chime in?

There's a thread in the Acad2011 forums about this, with what appears to be a workaround:
