P: Tab and Shift-Tab no longer moves focus in settings fields

  • Description of Issue
    • The Expected Result: In previous versions of Lightroom Cloud, when working in Edit mode, I was able to Tab from one edit setting field to the next; e.g. from Exposure to Contrast to Highlights, etc. I was also able to Shift-Tab to go back up the settings list.
    • The Actual Result: This is no longer available. Now, selecting Tab ‘enters’ the value (like selecting ‘Return’). The second Tab closes the panel and a third Tab re-opens the panel.
  • Lightroom Desktop Version Number: v9.2 20260217-0314 dfbaf86 Build
  • OS Version Number: 26.1 on a 15” M4 MacBook Air 16GB ram
  • Step-by-step Reproduction Instructions: see above

I realize this may not be a “bug” but a known change in code. If that’s the case, please re-instate the former use of Tab / Shift Tab as it was far more helpful and powerful than wasting it on opening an closing panels.

      I’m facing the same issue, after updating to v9.2 20260217-0314-dfbaf86 Build.

      I’ve tried to toggle the “Accessibility mode” → “Keyboard navigation“ under app’s Preferences → Interface, but both are not helping.
