I wonder... There used to be an issue where (some?) boxes needed you to click on another input-box on the page before you clicked on a button (such as print), or changed tab. (in HTML terms, values were only getting saved on losing focus, but they didn't lose focus when you changed tab or clicked on 'print').
For me, accounting for that has become 2nd nature, so I probably always do it these days. If some people are having issues with figures and others aren't, it could be that issue has come back.
