Bug Description
When attempting to set a manual configuration in the IPv4 settings panel, the address fields behave badly - clicking on an empty field make the editable field appear a little out of place, using the tab key or pressing the apply button (instead of pressing the enter key) after typing in a value loses the value.
Finally, pressing the apply button doesn't set the new IP address immediately; it doesn't change until I turn the "enable networking" check box off and then on.
The latter workaround makes it impossible to perform the edit remotely, as turning off the check box does immediately turn off the network.

I would just like to add that having the tab key switch from ip address to subnet mask to gateway would be nice. When manually configuring an ip, I have to click on the ip address, hit enter, click on the next field, etc. for each field.
