1.8.5 usability of "user filter"

XnView: MP 1.8.5 - 64 bit
OS: Windows 64bit

Editing an user filter is a process that could be improved. It involves moving my hand continuously from the keyboard to the mouse, which is a bit of a hassle, especially when all I want to do is write a 1 or a -1. I have the mouse on the right as the numeric keyboard, so I use the right hand for both.

Effect: I have to admit that I get a bit fed up with it and don't always do the job.

To reproduce:
1. Select Effect from menu
2. Select use filter
3. try to edit the filter setting a lot of values.

Actual behaviour (bug): If press the key TAB the focus moves to another control randomly

Expected behaviour: You should be able to move to the next edit box using the tab key.
