Hm... I cannot reproduce an error. Actually I am not sure if I understand which error you refer to. On my 35s it all works as advertised:

Press the "[]" key (blue-shifted brackets) and enter one, two or three numbers, separated by a comma (the one on the yellow-shifted zero-key). What happens if you do this?

[1, 2, 3] [ENTER] [2, 3, 5] [x] => 23 (dot product)
[2, 4, 6] [ABS] => 7,4833 (magnitude)
