Lightroom 5.0 keyboard increment behaviour

Question

Appearently with the latest version of Lightroom the keyboard behaviour was changed (or I accidently found a hidden shortcut to change it).

Before, I was able to use the up/down arrow with a slider highlighted to change small increments (usually 1 step) and shift + arrow key to change large increments (usually 10 steps). Currently the arrow keys behave in the same way as the shift + arrow key (both doing large increments). Is this expected behaviour or a bug with the latest version of Lightroom? - if so, it's a terrible UX choice compared to the previous behaviour.

Might only apply to arm64 version on the new M1 Pro.
