Effect Controls values reset when adjusted using Up/Down arrow keys in Premiere Pro 26.5.0

In Premiere Pro 26.5.0 (Build 99), values changed in the Effect Controls panel using the keyboard Up/Down arrow keys are not retained.

I noticed this specifically with Audio > Volume > Level.

Directly typing a numeric value works correctly.
Dragging the value with the mouse also works correctly.
Only values adjusted using the Up/Down arrow keys revert to their previous value.

Steps to Reproduce:

Select an audio clip.
Open Effect Controls > Audio > Volume > Level.
Click the numeric value.
Change it using the keyboard Up/Down arrow keys.
Press Enter or click elsewhere.
Continue editing or play the sequence.
The value eventually reverts to its previous value.

Expected Result:
The value changed using the Up/Down arrow keys should be retained.

Actual Result:
The value reverts to the previous value.

Workarounds:

Typing the value directly works.
Dragging/scrubbing the value with the mouse works.

Premiere Version:
Premiere Pro 26.5.0 (Build 99)

Operating System:
Windows 11

This started after updating to Premiere Pro 26.5.0.

A very similar issue has already been reported in Premiere Pro (Beta) v27.0.0.33. In that report, values changed using the Up/Down arrow keys revert to their previous values, while directly typing a value or scrubbing it with the mouse works correctly. Audio Level is specifically mentioned as one of the affected parameters.

Hello everyone,

The engineers are working on this issue. In the meantime, please adjust values using the Properties panel, enter changes manually, or use the slider as a current workaround.

Apologies for the inconvenience. I’ll post again once I know when the fix is released.

I am experiencing the same bug when changing more or less any values in the Effects Controls Panel (eg crop, scale). The most annoying thing I am finding is that it applies the change visually, but when I click back on that clip, the values have reset so as soon as I change one again it goes back to a previous state. I often have this problem with Curves adjustment in Lumetri too. Very painful. I will add my vote to the other report too. Thank you for reporting!

Note, this also happens with the Lumetri Colour Panel

PLEASE FIX THIS! It took me years to figure out that it was simply because I was using the arrow keys to make adjustments!

Thank you @たくみはじめ for your bug report. We were also able to reproduce this in house and will be filing a ticket for it.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Best,

I tested more parameters and confirmed that the issue is not limited to Audio Level.

The same behavior also occurs with Scale, Rotation, and Position.

In all of these cases, values changed using the Up/Down arrow keys revert to their previous values, while direct numeric input and mouse dragging/scrubbing work correctly.

This appears to be a more general issue with committing numeric values changed via the keyboard in the Effect Controls panel.
