Subject: 24.3; org-set-effort *without* numeric prefix - still forces me to use nth allowed

Hi,

on one box (emacs 24.3.1, org-mode version  7.9.3f) when I do 'C-c C-x e', i can enter an effort estimate string directly as shown in Effort_ALL property (e.g. 3w).however on another box (emacs 24.3.1, org-mode version 8.3.3), the ' C-c C-x e' prompt me: ' Select 1-9,0, [RET]: 0 1h 2h 4h 1d 2d 3d 4d 1w 2w 3w 4w'if i try to enter 3w, it sets the effort to 2h (the 3rd entry)org-set-effort help describes that behavior when a numerical prefix arg is usedit's happening for me with or without a numeric prefix argit seems to me that without the numeric prefix, i should still be able to enter 3wthe 'nth allowed' prompt should only occur *with* the numeric prefix

effort settings:

the only effort-related setting in my .emacs file is:                (setq org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations t)at the top of the .org file:                #+PROPERTY: Effort_ALL 0 1h 2h 4h 1d 2d 3d 4d 1w 2w 3w 4wunder the top level heading for which i want estimates:                :PROPERTIES:                :COLUMNS:  %90ITEM(Task) %10Effort(Estimated Effort){:} %CLOCKSUM                :END:
