High impact? I've been using myth since 0.18 (tried 0.17 but never got  
it working before .18 was released) and I've NEVER encountered this  
problem. My numbers act exactly like numbers. Of course, I also have a  
full keyboard plugged in that I usually use whenever I need to input  
more than the channel number, and I have the line edit keyboard turned  
on... though I don't recall ever setting that (I presume it was the  
default setting). Just because you don't like going through pages of  
configuration, doesn't mean it isn't needed. If you want to  
contribute... work on the documentation... then people will KNOW what  
all those settings are for.
