Using version .46 on Linux.
When I want to manually enter the size and position of an object, and I try to tab between x/y/width/height of the object on the toolbar, usually on the jump from width to height, the value in height gets highlighted, but if I try to enter a number, either nothing happens, or if the number's 1-6, Inkscape interprets it as a zoom shortcut.
The weird thing is that this isn't consistent---sometimes I can tab between x, y, width, and height like you'd expect, but most of the time x to y to width works, and then width to height doesn't. I can't figure out what the difference is.
So, does anyone have any idea what's going on here? Is there some setting I can change, or is this actually some sort of bug?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Thanks! I guess I'll just wait for the next release.

Yeah, I reported that one.
