Display flashes white when I hit 0 on numeric keypad...why?

Using Logic Pro 9...
When I hit the 0 (zero) key on the numeric keypad as a transport control alternative, the entire display flashes white, and Logic does not respond as it should when 0 is pressed.
I thought maybe this was an accessibility option, but in "System Preferences > Universal Access > Hearing" I see that "Flash the screen when an alert sound occurs" is not checked.
Also, hitting the other number keys causes the Logic window to get hidden for a brief moment.
Any ideas?

Being a new Logic user, it's a pleasure to be able to help someone here!

In 9.0.1 Apple changed the behavior of unmapped keyboard commands. In 9.0 you'd hear the Apple 'donk' sound when you hit an unmapped key; in the latest version you now get a flashing screen.

As for your other question, it's because those keys are assigned to changing Screensets. You might want to Google that one - one of Logic's nifty workflow features.
