P: Arrow keys broken in Compare

In the Library module, I select a group of photos and use "compare" mode. Up until I upgraded to 9.4, I could use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move between the pictures in the group. That's broken now. It's not my keyboard (keys work fine). The graphical arrows on the Lightroom interface still work with the mouse.

"When using the compare view to compare several pictures the zoom position is changed (in both pictures) when skipping one picture with the keyboard right arrow."

Since these are different symptoms from the original bug report, please start a new conversation (top-level post). That will make it easier for others to find and Adobe to notice.

Now there is a new problem connected with LrC10:

When using the compare view to compare several pictures the zoom position is changed (in both pictures) when skipping one picture with the keyboard right arrow.

Thanks for the prompt reply, Rick. Is leaving my present OS necessary? I use several programs that need it. Is there a way to revert to 9.3?

The fix is in 10.0 - not 9.4 - you will need to update OS and Lightroom.

@ROBERT SALTZMAN  update to Lightroom 10.0 after updating your OS and this bug should be fixed.

@Rick This is not working for me. I updated to version 9.4. running on Mac 10.13.6 and in compare view, the arrow keys do not function as before in version 9.3. I find t this a real loss as my workflow has always included being able to switch between frames--back and forth--to compare images. Please advise.

This is broken for me too.  Mac 10.13.6. 
I have always used the arrow keys in the compare mode to switch back and forth between images, and now this does not work. Please advise.
