Layer is deselected when creating the first keyframe

Good morning, I have the most up-to-date version of After Effects, 24.0, and the most up-to-date version of Mac Os Ventura, 13.6. And I started facing the following problem. Whenever I use the shortcut to create a keyframe, the layer is automatically deselected (Attached is the video where I show it). And the most bizarre thing: this only happens when I create the first keyframe for each attribute. From the second of the same attribute this does not happen again.

    Hi. Since updating to the latest version of After Effects (24.0.0 / Build 55) adding keyframes with shortcut keys (ie Alt + t to add Opacity keyframe) then deselects the layer, so can't quickly add another keyframe for Postion/ Scale/ etc. without having to first click on the layer again. This behaviour definitely seems new to this version, as I've regularly added multiple keyframes to layers without having to reselect before now.

     

    Related to this... If keyframes are accidentally added to all layers because none are seleced when the keyboard shortcut is pressed (because the target layer has now been deselected!), 'Undo' removes one keyframe at a time, whereas previously it would remove all keyframes added with that keystroke in a single Undo.

      Sorry about this bug. A fix was made in our internal builds overnight, and that fix should be in 24.1 beta builds by the end of the week. Unfortunately there isn't a workaround in 24.0 that we know of.

      I also found it out as a bug, because most of times I move keyframes immediately after creating them 😕😕 It destroys a workflow
