Unable to use Option+Shift keys to select whole words in Project Window (macOS)

macOS has long had the feature and Premiere has up until recently supported this where I can edit the name an item in the project window and hold down the option key and use the arrow keys to select whole words at a time. Premiere for the most part is very usable with a keyboard, but after reinstalling Premiere, the issue still persists.


 I tested the feature in the text box to enter this bug report and it’s definitely working within macOS, but no longer in Premiere. I often have long file names to edit when duplicating sequences, so this is a burden now.


Premiere: V 25.5.0 (Build 13)
macOS 14.7.8
