Keyboard Programming-Entering a Function Number in the Keyboard Functions List, it is very slow to find the number.  When entering a “Function number” in that field, it takes a long time for it to find the number.

For example:

Enter the number “9999”, and the numbers appear very slowly.
It was so slow that a screen shot was able to be taken to just capture the first “9” out of the “9999” that was entered (attached Screen Shot “SlowSearch.png”).
Did this test several times on 4 different MFS (32-Bit and 64-Bit) with the same results.
Hit in “9999” and hit ENTER.
Used a stop watch and timed each test to be 25-30 seconds long before it goes to the end of the file (Screen Shot attached “SlowSearch2.png”).
If during the 25-30 seconds, click the mouse (which icon has disappeared), the message “Keyboard Functions List (Not Responding)”; Screen Shot attached, “SlowSearch3.png”.
Hit “9….” Pausing before each entry and go up to “99999”, it takes about 5-10 seconds before the “High Range Error” message appears.
Hit in “99999” and ENTER fast, it takes a full minute before the “High Range” Error message shows (Screen Shot “SlowSearch4.png”).

Expected Results: Expect that the speed works the same as it did when it was DOS-16 Bit.

Actual Results: Extremely slow with change for 64-Bit.
