Its only half of them, Chris. The up-down arrows work fine. Focus is 
fubared too, forcing a click in the mdi line box before a return is 
recognized. One must develop two different habits to make productive use 
of the armhf-jessie install.  And its a mental distraction from ones 
train of thought that disturbs concentration and creativity.

The hereafter problem. :)

Seems to be a common problem in many open source projects where contributors 
use different user interface conventions for the same type of input. I use 
ZenCart on my website and it's a nightmare. Options may be tagged with 
Enable/Disable, 1/0, On/Off, or True/False. Someone has to grab the reins and 
say "Everyone WILL use THIS term for this thing."
