There's a couple of things to check here. Is the 'Use Line Edit Virtual
Keyboard' setting turned on (Settings->Appearance->QT page). The second
is Stuart M changed the mythui edit widget so that all printable
characters go to the edit first so if you have the SELECT binding set to
SPACE and RETURN and your remote is sending SPACE for the SELECT action
then the edit will never get the SELECT action it just adds the space to
the edit text. So just check the SELECT keybinding is set to RETURN and
your remote is sending RETURN for the key you use as SELECT.

I've no idea on this one. Just tried Arclight with both painters and
it's working fine here.
