Yes I noticed that too. I just looked into the corresponding source code 
(mytharchive/thumbfinder.cpp) and it seems that that specific text element is 
not correctly initialized with the initial seek value.
Some themes seem to workaround that issue and provide a default value for the 
text element in the theme file. You can see that the default value provided by 
the theme (for instance Terra) has an initial value of "Frame" and if you then 
press the up arrow and then the down arrow it changes to "frame" (notice the 
different case).
So it would probably better to report that issue to the developers so it gets 
fixed for all themes.

I did not occur to me up to now. :-) But it might be a good idea to promote it 
some more.

Ciao Jan
