I am having the same problem, the number lock key  "Unlocks" when clicking once (or double click)to the folder icon. But by clicking on the world icon, the number lock key remains locked. I have DBx version 216-4-4420. More strange: the problem is only on my 2-year-old desktop HP & Win11 but not on my 1-year-old HP laptop with the same software and setup. The problem is recent on my desktop computer.
