Tab key navigation of numeric fields in the Essential Graphics panel stopped working

Tab key no longer advances through form fields of the Essential Graphics panel.  v24.6.0(Build 86) on Windows 11.  I think tab navigation in Essential Graphics stopped working a few updates back.  
1. Create a shape
2. In Essential graphics, numerically change the x position.
3. Tab key does not advance to numeric editing of the y position.
Previous functionality allowed keyboard tab navigation to cycle through the editable form fields in the Essential Graphics panel.  This is an accessibility issue as well as a workflow issue.

What I see in 24.6.0 for a text instance is that after entering a value for position and hitting Tab, it shows nothing for about 5 tab presses, then reappears on Font size. Or if you click on "Pin to," and hit tab, it highlights nothing, then highlights for all of the Align options, but does not highlight position, anchor point etc, and next appears (11 presses?) at Font size.

Yes, I see it too in 24.6 and 25.0.b32

So, this is probably the last or second to last version of 24.x, in the next version, per the beta, there is no more Essential Graphics Panel, Now have the very cool "Properties" panel, which, shows properties of whatever is selected. All the Essential Graphics panel EDIT properties have moved to the Properties panel, and a new Graphics Templates panel is essentially the Browse panel of the current EGP. 

 

The bad news currently is neither one appears to have working tab button! Although in Effects Contols panel, the tab still works. This definitly should be mentioned in the beta forum.
