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.

I have the same bug since LrC 9.4. Sometimes the keys work and sometimes they don't 😞

I think I must have misunderstood this report. I now find that the keyboard left/right arrow keys don't work in Compare View for LrC 9.4.

I have a similar experience to Roelof on my macOS 10.15.6 and Lr9.4.  When I First enter compare mode I have to select the Candidate and then Compare arrows work correctly.  After this if I stay in Compare mode and select a different set of photos the arrow keys work except that Select is first selected which  is not what I want so I have to chose Candidate.

I rolled it back to 9.3 and the arrow keys work properly now. There's definitely something wrong with 9.4.

That trick doesn't work for me Roelof. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Tried this on my Windows 10 with LrC 9.4 and my keyboard left/right arrow keys work as expected.
