Why we need to press enter key on the on-screen keyboard

Hi,

Why we need to press enter key on the on-screen keyboard for the 'Analog numeric' control. Otherwise the value we entered disappears if we move to another control.

Yes that is correct. Moving to another control is considered a "cancellation" of your edit.

Is there any way to change this behavior? I notice that for windows text box control (text field) the value remains even if the control loses focus.

Some controls are Windows controls, while other controls are build by Beijer. There is no way to change the behavior of either set of controls when it comes to needing to press enter or not when you are done typing.
