Arrow keys and calendar

Post by JLM » Mon Sep 20, 2021 8:17 am

I upgraded from 19 to 21 before leaving work last week. This morning there is wailing and gnashing of teeth because they cannot navigate the calendar with the arrow keys any more. I haven't been in yet to check it out to define the problem more clearly but a hologram popped up on my phone telling me that I'm their only hope.

Is that change fixable/configurable? Maybe Darth Sparks knows the truth.

I just tested it in an older version. The behavior is interesting. The arrows move the dark rectangle around, but that doesn't actually change the date showing in the main area. Then, if you hit enter, it does change the date showing. And this only works if the calendar has focus. Since it doesn't always have focus, it's unreliable and requires a click prior to the arrows. I'm really struggling to understand how that was in any way efficient or useful.
