P: Arrow keys no longer advance to next photo in filmstrip in Develop

[RyanFunkPhotography]

When I use "+" key to go up on the exposure slider it stops my arrow keys from being able to move left and right on the film strip. If I press "+" it does its job and makes the slider go up but it makes it so I can't go left and right using the film strip. However, if I press "-" it works fine and I can still select the next and previous images with the arrow keys.

I've gone back to 13.4 and it works fine so it's clearly the update is the problem.

@KaylaM67, see here for two other workarounds while waiting for Adobe to fix this:

Same issue here..... Rolled back to 3.14 for now.

Using the - sign last makes the arrows work again (after using the + sign which seems to cause the bug). Really dislike to add the Ctrl button to be able to use the arrow....

@Yvonne3164958472gc, you can also use the - and = keys on the top row of the keyboard instead of the numeric keypad.

[Yvonne3164958472gc]

Yeah, thank you, I have read that, but as I am working on a laptop, those keys are much harder to reach (blindly).

Yes it seems to be a bug in the latest release from LR

if you want to use the numeric + & - rather than the ones next to the delete key, then click - and it will activate the arrows again. COME ON ADOBE, fix this bug already!

As i see its not only me that i noticed this very big problem with the left/right arrows keys to go to the next photo.

Only people doing weddings and have 2000 and more photos at the filmstrip can understand how huge is this problem for us.

Adobe has to fix this immediately, it very very difficult to work and we loosing more time at the proccecing.

Greetings all, 

A new update for Adobe Photography Products has been released.  The 13.5.1 update contains an update for this issue. 

If you do not see the update in your Creative Cloud Application, you can refresh it by hitting [Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[ R ].

Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your update to be available in your Creative Cloud app.

Thank you for being so patient.

Unfortunately I can't see this update. I have the photography plan of
Adobe, lightroom classic and this update 13.5.1 is not available!!

Finally! The 13.5.1 update resolved the issue for me! 🙂

@vlasios: "this update 13.5.1 is not available!!"

Adobe employee Rikk Flohr posted above that, "It may take up to 24 hours for your update to be available in your Creative Cloud app."

Develop module navigation from photo to photo used to be left arrow and right arrow. Now it is changed to cmd+left arrow, cmd+right arrow in mac.

This makes user to use both hands to navigate to photo which is major issue if i am using another device on other hand.  Please revert back to use just left arrow and right arrow to navigate to previous and next photo.

As frustrating as the problem is, so is the solution: it's a classic "turn it off and on again" fix. (All hail "IT Crowd.") This arrow key problem happens to me periodically, usually after a bunch of new uploads, and each time I get upset before remembering LR just needs to refresh or whatever. Let me know if that helps anyone here!
