Description jimbo 2024-03-19 03:32:48 UTC 
There was a bug in the application menu launcher (Start Menu) recently. When you hit 'enter' it would switch to the search dialog This was obviously a bug as users could not select the program they wanted via keypress (it would switch to the search instead).

However, once that was fixed it introduced another bug. Now I cannot use 'up' to wrap around to the bottom of the category. For example Windows Key, Up, Right, Up, Up would bring me to shutdown and I could shutdown the PC. I've been using this keypress for years to shutdown the machine.

Now I cannot wrap around, so now I have to use Windows Key, Up, Right, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down. Which is way more annoying. I guess someone thought that they were fixing a bug, but they created another one in the process. Please return the wrap behaviour back to normal.

Oh also, the PageUp/PageDown Home/End keys don't work on the launcher either. There is no reason why they shouldn't.

This is in fact intentional, so you can navigate among UI elements via the arrow keys.
