P: Arrow keys no longer advance to next photo in filmstrip in Develop

When I use "+" key to go up on the exposure slider it stops my arrow keys from being able to move left and right on the film strip. If I press "+" it does its job and makes the slider go up but it makes it so I can't go left and right using the film strip. However, if I press "-" it works fine and I can still select the next and previous images with the arrow keys.

 

I've gone back to 13.4 and it works fine so it's clearly the update is the problem.

As frustrating as the problem is, so is the solution: it's a classic "turn it off and on again" fix. (All hail "IT Crowd.") This arrow key problem happens to me periodically, usually after a bunch of new uploads, and each time I get upset before remembering LR just needs to refresh or whatever. Let me know if that helps anyone here!

Develop module navigation from photo to photo used to be left arrow and right arrow. Now it is changed to cmd+left arrow, cmd+right arrow in mac.

This makes user to use both hands to navigate to photo which is major issue if i am using another device on other hand.  Please revert back to use just left arrow and right arrow to navigate to previous and next photo.

As i see its not only me that i noticed this very big problem with the left/right arrows keys to go to the next photo.

Only people doing weddings and have 2000 and more photos at the filmstrip can understand how huge is this problem for us.

Adobe has to fix this immediately, it very very difficult to work and we loosing more time at the proccecing.

Yes it seems to be a bug in the latest release from LR

if you want to use the numeric + & - rather than the ones next to the delete key, then click - and it will activate the arrows again. COME ON ADOBE, fix this bug already!

Yeah, thank you, I have read that, but as I am working on a laptop, those keys are much harder to reach (blindly).

@Yvonne3164958472gc, you can also use the - and = keys on the top row of the keyboard instead of the numeric keypad.

Same issue here..... Rolled back to 3.14 for now.

 

Using the - sign last makes the arrows work again (after using the + sign which seems to cause the bug). Really dislike to add the Ctrl button to be able to use the arrow....
