Description Erik Herlé 2016-10-24 22:12:22 UTC
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.
