P: Arrow keys broken in Compare

In the Library module, I select a group of photos and use "compare" mode. Up until I upgraded to 9.4, I could use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move between the pictures in the group. That's broken now. It's not my keyboard (keys work fine). The graphical arrows on the Lightroom interface still work with the mouse.

Thanks for the fix. Keys are now working in compare mode again.

Unfortunately I had 2 total LR crashs in 3 hours. I (almost) never had to use the task manager to close LR before.

Not sure if this should be a separate post but pressing "C" on the keyboard used to enter and exit the Comparion mode. Now, it will start the Comparison mode but won't exit, at least until I click on one image to activate the Zoom function.

[edit] Just noticed that the keyboard arrow keys would start working after activating the zoom function on one of the pictures by clicking on it, at least until another function is used, like swap X and Y. At which point, have to activate zoom again to regain functionality of the arrow keys on the keyboard.

This happens every day when I open the computer so not a solution but thank you.

Closing Lightroom and then opening it again. Couldn't hurt to also restart your computer.

More features = more bugs. Just a fact of life. There's no such thing as zero defects where on a piece of inexpensive software or a billion $/€/¥ piece of hardware.

One of the reasons (certainly not the only one) that we got Lightroom is that full Photoshop became so bug ridden that it became unusable for all except masochist (much improved lately).

If we want fewer bugs then we need to convince Adobe to remove features that have no business in a photo editor (e.g. video support), duplicate features (tagging which can all be done with keywords and 4 different ways of using the same feature) and features that fewer than one in a thousand customers will ever use.

Im on a Mac. Using Lightroom and these keys for 10+ years. I wish Adobe could deliver a stable product. Dont get me started on tethering.
