I've discovered since I wrote that you can also restore the correct behavior
by pushing the left or right key on the keypad once.  You notice a slight
"flash" of a quick color change in the message areas, and then it's back in
the right mode.  (The "flash" may be specific to your gtk theme.)  Oddly
enough, the diagonal keys on the keypad don't restore the correct behavior.
