Running Inkscape 0.91

Problem occurs when I attempt to change the leading of a block of text. Sometimes I am able to click in the box to adjust the leading using the text tool, other times , when I click in the box, it seems as if I've clicked on the title bar, and I simply move the window around.
When I can click on the arrows to adjust the leading, if I click the adjust less (the "up" arrow), I can adjust the leading by 2 or 3 hundredths, but then the leading will suddenly jump to 0.00. If I click the adjust more (the "down" arrow), I can adjust the leading by 2 or 3 hundredths, but then the leading will suddenly jump to 10.00.
Mark, do you use the keyboard shortcuts (with Alt?) or the input fields in the tool bar to adjust the position of the letters? Or are you adjusting the line-height? But then the arrow keys don't make a difference.
I think what you're referring to is adjusting kerning with Alt + arrow keys. Can you confirm?
If so, did you re-assign a different key than Alt for moving windows in your desktop environment settings?
