Not sure if this is the right place to be reporting this (or if this is indeed a bug).


In UI2, whenever I wanted to scale a component I would hit K and then use tab as a way to quickly move through to the height/width fields, and then type in a number. This is a shortcut I use very often - I’d go as far as to say it was one of my most used shortcuts.


However now in UI3, for some reason when I hit K and tab through, it completely skips through the height and width fields and goes straight into the ‘1x’ field. In order to get to the fields above I’d have to shift+tab.


IMO this makes no sense - tabbing should start at the first field in the ‘scale’ area. I imagine this is also an issue from an accessibility standpoint.


Potentially this is a remnant of UI2 that was missed in the rebuild, as the fields used to be swapped over.


Here’s a screenshot of what I mean:

Hi @Holly_Williams1, Thank you for reaching out regarding the scale tool. I appreciate you pointing out this behavior.


When trying to replicate the issue you mentioned, I noticed a layout difference between UI2 and UI3 of the scale tool. In both UIs, pressing K after selecting a frame seems to highlight the scale multiplier.

However, in UI2, the dimensions fields are located below the scale multiplier, while in UI3, the dimensions fields are placed above the scale multiplier. This layout change may be related to the tab key transition after pressing K.

I will search for the appropriate team internally and escalate this post!


Also, we welcome any additional insights or suggestions about this from our community. Please feel free to share them.


Thank you for your valuable input.


Thank you very much!


Have the same issue. I was using “K” + “Tab” all the time.
