Manual entry now works on windows but you changed the behavior.
Currently, as you enter a number in the edit control, the changes update
instantly.  With your patch, you have to tab to the next control before
the change is made.  IMO, this is a step backwards from the current
behavior at least on windows.  I'm not sure I'm good with this
regression.  Anyone else have any thoughts on this.
