In 4.8.3, open asset would allow you to type the beginning on an actor name, press the down key and select it.
In 4.9 p4, it takes an extra down key press to get to the list. A weird dashed focus rectangle sets itself on the list first.
I believe it to be a bug and a UX regression.
Hi ,
I was able to reproduce the additional step of highlighting the asset list before being able to navigate it with the down arrows and have reported it as JIRA [20567]. However, I am not positive that this is not intentional. In either case, if it is corrected or determined to be expected behavior, we will notify you with an update to this post.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
I’d love to know the intentional reason of adding an extra key press for absolutely no reason what so ever. But hey, I’m a UX designer so I’m biased.
This has been reported fixed for a future release of the Engine.
