No, it doesn't matter which Enter key I use. Typing without looking, I
more often use the normal number keys than I do the keypad, especially
when mixing letters and numbers.
If it's not re-creatable in 1.5.x, then I could probably deal with it a
little longer, until 1.6.0 comes out. I took long enough to report it,
anyhow. If I get really desperate, I could always go code-diving, I
guess...
