It looks wrong to me (on Windows) - these situations are always a problem. 
One approach is to change the value as the user types - I now do that in 
some cases. Problem with that is that intermediate values may be far from 
the final value. The other approaches are to use tab or change the usual 
mode of operation of Return. ISTR sometimes on RISC OS the cursor up/down 
keys also force a value to be read.

The tab ruler/tab values window are another situation where this problem 
occurs.

I don't grasp all that followed - are you talking about RISC OS or Windows?

Doesn't clicking on OK close the dialogue box, preventing any further 
interaction with it?
