in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

@Johannes Matt258354117oh3 – Thanks for adding the screenshot, it does help!

I can't reproduce this on my installation, a new Color Balance adjustment layer doesn't have any fields active.

I have to click within a field to make it active and then I can use the tab or shift+tab key to cycle between fields.

It may be that you need to back up all of your custom actions, brushes and other presets and reset your preferences.

EDIT: With the adjustment layer active, in the Properties panel, click on the menu and untick "Auto-Select Parameter" to turn this off.

Yes! That's it, "auto-select parameter" was enabled. Thank you very much!
