Question Calibre shortcuts using Num Keys not working for me

Don't know if this is happening to anyone else:

I'm try to assign a shortcut key to a Calibre function using keys from my Num Pad keys. Example:
  1. Open the Shortcuts settings and expand the section for Edit Metadata.
  2. Under "Edit Metadata in Bulk" it states "Shortcuts: None"
  3. Double-click to expand "Edit Metadata in Bulk" section
  4. Select "Custom"
  5. Click on "None" button to the right of "Shortcut:"
  6. Button text changes to "Press a key..."
  7. Press 8 on Num Keypad
  8. Button text changes to "Num8"
  9. Click "Done" button which collapses "Edit Metadata in Bulk" section
  10. Under "Edit Metadata in Bulk" it now states "Shortcuts:" [blank] Hmm...
  11. Double-click to expand "Edit Metadata in Bulk" section to double check
  12. Button to the right of "Shortcut:" is now blank [no text]
  13. Click Apply to exit Shortcuts settings
  14. New shortcut key does nothing
Repeating the above steps using any key from the alpha portion of keyboard works as intended.
