Creating or selecting a Channel Mixer adjustment layer moves focus to the Red value field

Question

About a hundred times a day I have to stop to wonder why my keyboard shortcut isn't doing anything, then glance up at the Properties panel and see the red Channel Mixer field highlighted and awaiting input, then I have to hit escape or enter to get back to work. Then it happens again a few seconds later.

This is brand new behavior in one of the last two updates, and it's a flow-killer. I'm generously assuming it's a bug, because if someone thought this was an improvement, that would be a terrible omen for future UI tweaks.

With the Channel Mixer Adjustment Layer selected, go to the Properties Panel flyout menuand uncheck Auto-Select Parameter

I remember looking there first, but not getting any relief. Funny thing, it took a few clicks to uncheck it, but I've quit and opened Photoshop a couple times since then and it hasn't respawned. User error either way. Just installed 26.8 and now I've got bigger problems (but involving third party integration so I think I'm on my own)
