What you're seeing is commonly referred to as "Ghosting". Apparently this happens because the K2 doesn't referesh the entire screen all the time, probably as a power saving measure.

Have you tried Pressing ALT-G to do a full screen refresh?
You're right of course it's definitely ghosting not burning...

Yes, a full screen refresh clears the ghosted text.
