Not sure when this started happening, or is it something thats on my side, but lately theres been some undesired behaviour in the gain control of the eq filters.
When theres a positive gain it can be freely controlled by the up/down arrows, but as soon you bring it to -0.1db the arrows no longer work and you cant go neither down or up.
When this happens, hovering the mouse over the field and using the scroll works, but unfortunately its in 1db increments instead of 0.1 as with the buttons. Once you bring it up to a positive value with the scroll the arrows start working again.
Heres a video i made showing the issue.

If its something i could alleviate on my side, i would appreciate some advice.

Pretty strange. I can't reproduce that, even if I change the Locale to one using comma as decimal delimiter. What region is your PC set to?

Yup, its the locale thats causing it. Tried switching back and forth few times to confirm that its reproducible.
With US localle it works fine, and im using Macedonian. Since you tried others with comma delimiter and couldnt reproduce it, maybe the alphabet being Cyrilic has something to do with it?

Edit: Heres my settings with which it doesnt work, when i switch regional format to US it works ok. Setting both Country and Regional format to Macedonia still doesnt work. Using Win11 if that makes any difference.

Thanks. The use of brackets for negative numbers in the Macedonian locale was the issue. I have fixed it for the next build, but REW will continue to use a minus sign for negative numbers in the gain controls.
