P: Flag & Color Label Shortcut Issues (Specific Languages AZERTY&QWERTZ)

I encounter an issue with the latest update (V11) on shortcuts to assign a color label (6,7,8,9).
Those shortcuts won't anymore assign a color label, it will now only remove the color label. 
The shortcut "Assign a color label and go to next photo" (Shift+6 to 9) still work well as previously.
Please fix this adobe, my culling speed depend on it. 
Thanks in advance,

I'm convinced its a macOS bug, it alos happens in filemaker

see details here, with files to reproduce

 

https://community.claris.com/en/s/question/0D53w00006JLKMpCAP/scripts-launched-by-default-keyboard-shortcuts-execute-twice-with-french-keyboard-layout-keypad

 

also I can reproduce it, with filemaker as LR doesn't seem to work with AS, with applescript, so no hardware involved

 

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
activate
delay 1.266667
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "1" using command down
end tell
end tell

Lightroom Classic  13.0.1 (bug also occured before)

French macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 (bug also occured before) 

MacBook Pro M1

Wired french Apple Extended Keyboard (also occurs with third parties keyboards)

 

Step to reproduce :

Be in library or develop mode, with thumbnails below, have the autoadvance on rating set.

Have your macOS keyboard layout set to french

Rate a picture using the numbers on the numeric keypad, the current and the next picture will get teh rating instead of just the current one. Which is super irritating.

 

With same configuration, same keyboard setting the keyboard layout to ABC (US QWERTY) will make it work ok, so no issue.

 

Issue only occurs with numeric keypad and keyboard layout ser to french.

No issue alos eve in french layout mode, if you use the first keybord row for the numbers (but in french its inconvenient since you have to use the shift key to get the number)

"The procedure proposed by Axel doesn't work for me."

 

Right, resetting preferences won't fix this bug.

 

"As a workaround, I don't use the number pad on the right but the numbers above the letters."

 

Note that to type a number on an AZERTY keyboard with the top-row keys, you need to hold Shift. That will toggle the setting of Photo > Auto Advance. Thus, by default, when you type a number, LR will apply the rating and advance to the next photo. 

 

If you don't want that to happen, then check the menu item Photo > Auto Advance, and typing a number will no longer auto advance.

OK 
I can see here that the problem is well identified and that Adobe don't care as far as there are not enough vote.
Il will try some of the workaround suggested here, and vote if I can find how to do it
thanks everyone
