Selecting an adjustment layer focuses on the first text field

I'm using the 26.11 version of Photoshop (Beta), since previous versions I have experienced something annoying, when I select an adjustment layer that has text fields, for example Hue and Saturation, the first text field, in this case the Hue, is focused and I have to press ESC to remove the focus.

 

This gets annoying because if I want to copy an adjustment layer or perform different actions with the keyboard, I have to keep pressing ESC, otherwise it won't work.

 

For example, if I select an adjustment layer and press Ctrl+C, I'll be copying the value of the first text field in that adjustment layer, not the adjustment layer itself.

In Photoshop go to Window>Adjustments and from the flyout  menu uncheck Auto-Select Parameter.

It is indeed very annoimg when you just want to change the layer oppacity or blending mode as the normal shortcuts won't work unless you press ESC first
