Keyboard support in the "Welcome to PhpStorm" window
In the earlier versions, using the arrow keys moved the focus between the list of recent projects on the left in the welcome window, and typing anything acted as a filter to narrow down this list. For a person working for a company with many customer projects, this was super helpful and convenient.
In the 2017.1, however, the arrows seem to move the focus between create / open / checkout, and the filtering does not work either anymore.
Was this an intentional change in behaviour?
Is there a possibility to fix/revert this?

Hi there,
Just checking 2017.1 final .. and it works OK here on Windows 10 using UK English keyboard layout.
1) What's your setup?
2) Have you tried 2017.1 EAP builds before that?
Like always - when you make a public post, then you'll find a solution immediately yourself. The left arrow key goes to the recent project list and then the old behaviour works as it used to. I guess just the default focus changed.
