Avidemux 8 and 9 keys not working

It is no longer possible to type the digits 8 or 9 in the "Shift", "Frame" or "Time" fields on the main window of avidemux.

This follows an upgrade from fluxbuntu gutsy to hardy - which also clobbered /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager symlink and pointed it at startkde instead of startfluxbox... It was fine until I rebooted, only after the reboot did 8 and 9 stop working.

In order to go to a frame whose number includes those digits I have to use the Go to Frame... dialog from the Go menu.

This is happening both in the latest hardy version of avidemux (2.4.1) and in 2.4 (r3731) installed in /usr/local/bin.

You can still type * and ( in the fields where 8 and 9 do not work.

8 and 9 work fine in the various dialogues of avidemux, it's only the fields on the main window which don't work. They seem to work fine in every other app too.

...The Qt version doesn't do it. But the Qt version is not a suitable substitute because it does not have the jog wheel.
