In order to weed out imported pictures I use the Rejected/Pending/Accepted labels to qualify them. I use the keyboard shortcuts (Alt+0 .. Alt+3) to assign a label and the cursor keys to move to the next picture. After a couple of label picks, dK does not respond to my cursor keys (Left or PgDn) to move the next picture. I have to mouseclick the current/next picture and then I can use the cursor keys again. It is impossible to process an imported batch entirely by keyboard, I am forced to use mouse over and over again after a couple of picks. Usually it happens after 2 to 4 picks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See details above. Actual Results: See details above. Expected Results: I want to be able to process my imported photos entirely with my keyboard. That is the fastest way to process them. So I would expect that is not necessary any more to mouseclick a picture to continue the process.
Discovered this bug in v5.2.0, but is also present in v5.3.0 (just tested on Windows 10 64-bit).
