[Esc] not returning to Grid from Loupe/Edit

Prior to today, while in Grid view, I would frequently use my keyboard to move among photos rapidly, occasionally hitting the Space key to go into the Detail view for a photo, then hitting Escape to return to the Grid view.

Unfortunately with v6.0, once in the Detail view, hitting Escape does nothing. I have to use my mouse and click on the "Square Grid" icon in the lower left corner. This slows down my workflow massively.

[Esc] is working here from either the Square Grid or the Photo Grid.

Perhaps a preference file reset:

This procedure works for both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop.

If you are using Lightroom Desktop it can change the location of your local storage. Please review this setting after resetting preferences.

Reset Procedure:

1. Close Lightroom.

2. Hold down [Alt/Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.

3. Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.

4. Close Lightroom.

5. Restart Lightroom.

Thanks again Rikk! This actually ended up being a bug w/ MacOS. I realized shortly after posting this that my Escape key stopped working everywhere. Apparently there is a bug w/ Siri that can cause this. Seems super weird and completely unrelated, but killing the Siri process and letting it restart restored my Escape key functionality.
