VFO A knob is disabled while you're in notch configuration mode, if you
press NTCH again you'll still have the notch at the desired offset
and you can move VFO A again. I see that pressing any other key also
exits from config mode (as it should be), so this is probably what
you're seeing.

I wouldn't see the need to lock computer control of VFO A while setting
notch.
