Numeric Keypad not working

+, -, * and / seem to work, but numerals produce nothing and = seems to function as a return key.

Thank you for this issue - it is fixed now (except "=" key - it still works as ENTER, cause it's just the way it is mapped in the numeric keyboard)

That means that it will be working in beta 5? It is not working in beta 4.

Yes, this fix is not public yet - we've just verified it in our up-to-date private version.

Great news! Thanks!

here's a workaround...

Until beta 5 comes out, you can press the clear key on the numeric pad to enable the numbers on the numeric pad. The decimal point still doesn't work though.

Numeric Keypad doesn't work in Beta 5

Just downloaded Beta 5 and installed on a Mac Book Pro (Intel). The numbers on the keypad don't work. Any solutions?

Thanks!

You can still press the Clear key on the numeric key pad to get the numbers to work. In beta 5, the decimal point key works as well.

That is:
Clear = Num Lock

[edit: Doh! On a full keyboard, the clear key = the num lock key. If the num lock key on your MBP doesn't enable the "built in numeric key pad", try plugging in a full-size keyboard?]

Num locked stopped working after RC2

I am using an MBP in clamshell mode with an Apple extended keyboard. In RC1 I could use the keypad after pressing the num lock key. Now, after installing RC2, the num lock light does not go on and I can no longer use the keypad. Is there a new preference that affects this?
