P: Doesn't keep focus in Keywording or Title boxes

After upgrading from 2015.4 to 2015.5, there is a change in behaviour of the keyword box in Library module.

When you have entered keywords and press Ctrl/Cmd+RightArrow to move to the next photo, in the previous version the focus would remain in the keyword box so you can keep adding keywords. In 2015.5 the focus is lost and you need to press Ctrl/Cmd+K to re-focus on the keyword box, slowing down the tagging process.

Five bugs fixed in CC 2015.5 and 50 new bugs introduced. What's going on at Adobe/Lightroom labs?! Who and how will we be compensated for our time and nerves? I run an image bank and I do keywording 6 hours a day, at least. Now I'm keywording 3x less photos, for 3x more time and 10x more frustration. Come on, Adobe...

Hi, I don't have this problem (win 10) but also I never enter keywords this way. My way is to work in grid mode, large selection first for common keywords, than I select less and less for specific keywords. I like to spray keywords in too.
