It is not yet clear whether the data entry issue in the "Masks" section has been fixed, as a new problem has already appeared. It causes even more inconvenience, because it cannot be solved by switching from photo to photo and back.

It is impossible to manually enter values in the "Exposure" field. Both on the main panel in general settings and in the "Masks" section. Using the mouse cursor or the up/down arrows on the keyboard, everything works correctly. But doing it manually is impossible. For example, when you need to enter exact values, such as +0.05 and the like. And this wouldn't be a big problem and could be done with the slider using the mouse, BUT there is an important catch. In the "Masks" section, when moving the slider with the mouse, it jumps only and immediately by 4 points, not by 1, as required for fine-tuning. For example, its values can only be 4, 8, 12 (and not 1, 2, 3), and so on. When I want to enter +0.06, an error message appears and the value increases straight to +6.0 or something like that.

Yesterday, the Option and Up/Down key combination worked. Today, it's broken. It jumps between two options and the image goes black. See video 2. What's happening? It's unbearable! Lightroom is crumbling before our eyes!

Please see the video recording that I am attaching. In other fields, values are entered correctly. I think the program does not understand values with a comma and corrects something.

In pursuit of degenerative toys, you have completely forgotten about simple functionality. I have been using Lightroom for over 10 years, and I have never seen so many problems in such a short time. This issue is keeping me from doing my work. I am deeply disappointed. Come on, let's fix everything faster. Below is information about the system and a link to the video.

    P. S. Other sliders related to changing the lightness or darkness of the image also work very strangely from the keyboard when the option and up/down buttons are pressed. And the checkbox in the keyboard control column is not fixed, if this makes a difference. Watch the additional video at the previously provided link.
