When you set the display format of a fractional numeric to e.g. "%#_g Mhz",
it becomes impossible to change it's value with the keyboard!
In LV 7.1, you can give the numeric key focus, and if the cursor is at the
numeric part, you can use arrow up and arrow down to increate or decrease
it's value.
In 8.2 and 8.5.1, the value turns to NaN when pressing the up or down arrow.
If you set a range, the value becomes the upper range value, even if you
press the down arrow.
This behavior doesn't occur when you set the display format to "%#_gMhz",
without the space... It also works fine with "%d Mhz", even if the control
is a dbl, but not with "%.0f Mhz"
It doesn't happen with any arbitrary letter, just the SI prefixes
(a,y,z,f,p,n,m,c,d,h,k,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y).
If the value is e.g. 0, and you type a value and then press an arrow key,
the value becomes NaN, but if you click next to the numeric, the value is
set back to 0... If you type in 0, the display says 0, but is actually
1,70399E-313. If the value is 1, and you press the decreament button, the
value does become 0... If you type NaN in the control (replacing all the
text), the value also becomes 1,70399E-313, although the display says 0...
Like I said, it works fine in LV 7.1.
