I'm convinced its a macOS bug, it alos happens in filemaker

see details here, with files to reproduce

also I can reproduce it, with filemaker as LR doesn't seem to work with AS, with applescript, so no hardware involved

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

activate

delay 1.266667

tell application "System Events"

keystroke "1" using command down

end tell

Lightroom Classic 13.0.1 (bug also occured before)

French macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 (bug also occured before)

MacBook Pro M1

Wired french Apple Extended Keyboard (also occurs with third parties keyboards)

Step to reproduce :

Be in library or develop mode, with thumbnails below, have the autoadvance on rating set.

Have your macOS keyboard layout set to french

Rate a picture using the numbers on the numeric keypad, the current and the next picture will get teh rating instead of just the current one. Which is super irritating.

With same configuration, same keyboard setting the keyboard layout to ABC (US QWERTY) will make it work ok, so no issue.

Issue only occurs with numeric keypad and keyboard layout ser to french.

No issue alos eve in french layout mode, if you use the first keybord row for the numbers (but in french its inconvenient since you have to use the shift key to get the number)

"The procedure proposed by Axel doesn't work for me."

Right, resetting preferences won't fix this bug.

"As a workaround, I don't use the number pad on the right but the numbers above the letters."

Note that to type a number on an AZERTY keyboard with the top-row keys, you need to hold Shift. That will toggle the setting of Photo > Auto Advance. Thus, by default, when you type a number, LR will apply the rating and advance to the next photo.

If you don't want that to happen, then check the menu item Photo > Auto Advance, and typing a number will no longer auto advance.

Hi

OK
I can see here that the problem is well identified and that Adobe don't care as far as there are not enough vote.
Il will try some of the workaround suggested here, and vote if I can find how to do it
thanks everyone

Bonjour la communauté
Depuis pas mal de temps, lorsque j'applique les notes aux photos avec le clavier numérique Apple (droite), la note s'applique a deux photos de suite.
Je suis donc obligé de le faire avec les chiffres en haut du clavier.
Avez-vous une idée de la raison ?
Merci

Je viens d'installer la version 12.5 et ça le fait toujours.
Mac OS Ventura 13.4

Are you on a French AZERTY keyboard? There's a longstanding bug with using the numeric keypad on AZERTY keyboards. You can switch to a QWERTY keyboard or you can use this workaround to make the top-row keys act like the top-row keys of a QWERTY keyboard:

On a French AZERTY keyboard, when Photo > Auto Advance is set, typing 1 through 5 on the numeric keypad sets the star rating of the current photo and the next photo and then advances to the third photo. See the attached screen recording.

Tested on LR 12.4 / Mac OS 13.4 with an Apple Magic Keyboard (French AZERTY) and US English keyboard. To reproduce:

1. Connect a French AZERTY keyboard with numeric keypad.

2. Select French as the current keyboard input method:

3. In LR, go to Library Grid view, select the first photo, and type 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on the numeric keypad. Observe that each time, two photos get the star rating and the third photo is selected.

4. If you don't have a French AZERTY keyboard with numeric keypad, attach a US English keyboard with numeric keypad and leave the current keyboard input method at French.

5. In LR, go to Library Grid view, select the first photo, and type 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on the numeric keypad. Observe that each time, two photos get the star rating and the third photo is selected.

Steps 4 and 5 show the bad behavior with my Apple Magic Keyboard (US English), not sure how it might behave with other US English keyboards.
