Number keys misbehaving

When I use the above version in part design, the number keys work fine in sketcher, but when I use the pad or thickness tools the number keys just change the view orientation. It doesn't matter which number keys I use on the keyboard; the behavior is the same. The number entry fields are correctly highlighted. The only way to change the parameter is with the little up/down arrows.

If I use the standard version from the distro, then the number keys behave as expected. This is the "standard" version that works correctly:

This is the file in question. It's the first file that I started with this weekly version.
There was a similar problem in the forum a few years ago with version 0.18, but it doesn't have a solution to my problem: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=32759

It makes sense has you have a 104 or 105 keys keyboard so key you press are different.

Computer has some sense in evertything they do, probably it is not what you expect that usually it is not a nonsense.

Maybe there are around some settings, but I don't know for sure as I rarely use GUI.

Yes, I do have a "full" keyboard. But it doesn't matter which number key I press, either the one above the letters or the number pad on the right of the keyboard. If I try to pad something to 5 mm, then the view changes to bottom view, no matter which "5" key I press.

...

Sorry I have misunderstood.

Probably the control uses SpinBox and and for some reason it could not change the input method.

Did you try to click on the field and see if the cursor appear in the field?

Pad and Thickness tool are the Part Design WB tools?

@chrisb (The only Sketcher expert I have in mind) what do you think?

Thanks for your reply.

Indeed, when I click in the field the cursor is present. I can also delete the digits that are in the field, but I can't add new digits. The view just changes.
And yes, these tools are from the part design workbench.

Edit: I just discovered that digits 7, 8, and 9 will work as expected, no doubt because they do not change the view orientation.

There have been a number of changes in FreeCAD recently with respect to Qt, spin boxes, etc. This may be a new bug.

But apparently already fixed.

OK thanks. I'll give it a try with the latest appimage and report back. But not today anymore.

Not solved yet. I just tested the newest Appimage, and the problem is still there.

For what it's worth, the same Appimage works as desired when I execute it under Debian Testing:

Hope this helps.

I have tested the latest AppImage on different computers and OS's. The number keys work correctly on Debian Testing and on OpenSUSE Leap 15.4.
The number keys work incorrectly on both Arch and Manjaro.
As a workaround on Arch I tried setting the units to cm/m²/m³, but that doesn't work either. If I try to enter 0,5 cm to get a 5 mm pad, the comma is accepted, but entering the "5" causes the view to change to "Bottom".
Would someone using Arch or Manjaro care to try to confirm - or contradict - this?

This works correctly:
