Multiclip Bug with MacBook Pro Numeric Keypad?

I'm having the issues with FCP 5.1.4 using a MacBook Pro with both Targus and a Adesso numeric keypads. Although the Targus is not listed as such, the Adesso is advertised as being OSX compatible. But regardless of which numeric keypad I use, regardless of which keyboard layout I use, regardless of which modifiers I use or map, I am completely unable to make cuts using modifier keys with either of the numeric keypads listed. Blue markers show up, but then the cuts are not made. I can switch video angles without modifier keys. I simply cannot cut to a video angle with a modifier key. HOWEVER...if I map the unmodified numeric keypad 1 and 2 to cut to a video angle, then ALL modifier keys (Shift, Opt, Ctl, and Cmd) will also now do the same.

The numeric keypads work in other apps, and seem to even work within the alphanumeric fields in FCP. It's the modifier keys that simply won't work correctly with multiclip editing.

This is a 2 camera project project that was shot WITHOUT matching timecode and was subclipped to keep everything in sync. Playback is fine in multiclip mode, and the multiclip buttons in the timeline button bar do work without problems. In fact this may be the only way I'll get this project done, which is a real pain.

Thanks for any and all help.

Thanks for any help,
