Context switching whilst typing keywords / Shoot name on "Import"

Hi community / Adobe.

 

When importing photos, upon writing "keywords" and providing a "shoot name" I have forever (across all versions for years now) had the context SWITCH from the field I'm typing in, whilst I'm typing..

Am I the only one? Surely this is as annoying for everyone else as it is for me?

 

Effectively I type a variety of keywords, comma delimited, and someone else in Lightroom grabs "context" and moves the cursor out of the keyword input field, so you end up typing letters which then correspond to shortcuts and it natrually spazzes out bringing up all those shortcuts instead of concluding your keyword. Same thing for the "Shoot name" field, seemingly randomly WHILST TYPING a shoot name, context is somehow drawn to another part of the app and now the remainder of my shoot name obviously just executes whatever shortcut is related to those keys.

 

It's random - incredibly frustrating, a huge waste of time, and sometimes damaging because I might put a space in which will execute the import with some wack settings because all the letters I typed triggered something else as shortcuts.

 

There's tons of "this Adobe app is grabbing context" bugs whilst the Adobe suite loads other apps (which is equally annoying) but this one takes the cake as I often trigger an import with dumb settings then have to find what I pushed to find out where it went.
