Bridge 15.0.4 sometimes ignores rating shortcuts while "Loading High Quality Preview"

Version: 15.0.4

OS: Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Expected Behavior: I have the Rate 1-5 Star commands bound to my 1-5 keys. After selecting an image in the content pane so that it appears in the preview pane, pressing one of those keys should immediately apply the desired star rating to the file.

Actual Behavior: When an image is selected for the first time, a small "Loading High Quality Preview" banner appears over the image in the preview panel. While the banner is visible, my keypresses to rate the file are ignored, even if pressed multiple times. This means that I have to wait 1-2 seconds on each file so that I can rate it, dramatically slowing down my workflow.

Notes: This is not a problem when I use lower-resolution files or a faster computer, as the preview typically loads fast enough that the delay is minimal. The images I am experiencing delay on are ~40mb, 36MP NEF files loaded from disk. I have an i7-7700k and 48gb of RAM.
