Good afternoon everyone. For the last few versions, I've noticed that not all the time, but most times, when I use a hot key in Develop such as P or X to flag an image, it auto-advances to the next image, but then I cannot advance to the next image using the right-cursor. I have to mouse-select the next image, then the cursor key works for subsequent images, until the next time I apply P or X. Anyone else experience this?
 
That's a weird one. When you say the right cursor, you mean the right arrow key? Does the photo show as selected, in the lightest gray shade when the right button doesn't work? And do you have any kind of filter applied?
 
Yes, right arrow.. No filters, nothing applied. Nothing gets highlighted...just nothing happens until I pick the image by mouse, then all is well. Sometimes it won't happen for 10-20 P(icks), then it will happen for multiple instances. When it first happened, I figured it would get addressed by the next version, but its now several versions. I think it's time to tell mommy.
 
Ok, not getting highlighted would be key. That's the bit to look out for, if you can spot a pattern. The keystrokes won't do anything if the photo's not selected. That's not an issue I'm hearing lots of reports on, so resetting preferences could be a good place to start.
 
When I P(ick) the image, it advances to the next image ( I have Auto Advance turned on) and it is highlighted. However, when I RightSelect, the next one doesn't get highlighted, the already highlighted image from Auto Advance stays highlighted and the next image is not.

I've tried to see if there is a pattern and there is not one that I can discern.
 
See if you can grab a video next time it happens. We might be able to spot it.
