Can't scroll through swatches panel with arrow keys

I'm working in InDesign CC 2018 (on iMac) and am unable to scroll through my swatches in the swatches panel using the arrow keys. The same for the New Color Swatch panel. I've already checked my scrolling options in system preferences and InDesign preferences, but nothing seems related to this problem.

Were you ever able to do that?

I've been running InDesign since the first release and I'm not sure any of InDesign's panels have ever supported arrow-key scrolling.

Yes. Before we switched to the Creative Cloud, we were still using CS6, and I used the arrow keys for scrolling through swatches regularly.

Really?
Cannot do this with CS6 version 8.1.0 on Windows 10 (1803)

I'm surprised as you, because I thought I was able to scroll through with the arrow keys as well.

Hm. Maybe that was an Mac OS X-only feature? Recently I switched to Windows…
