Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

Usually to enter a transaction I click "Add new", and then I use my keyboard (tab + arrow keys) to fill in all the fields.

After a recent update pressing the "down arrow" key no longer lets you select the category. This means I need to use my mouse to select category which is much slower.

Filing as bug instead of feature request because I am 99% sure this worked in the past.

Client/server version v25.12.0

How can we reproduce the issue?

On a PC

  1. Go to account view
  2. Click "Add new"
  3. Tab over to "Category" field
  4. Press down arrow -> Notice that the first category in the list was not selected after pressing down arrow

Expected behaviour: First down arrow press selects "Split Transaction", second press selects the first category, third press selects second category, and so on.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

  • Firefox
  • Chrome

Operating System

Windows 11

@danielkubica commented on GitHub (Dec 15, 2025):

I can confirm. I had the same workflow with the tab + arrow keys for entering transactions, but after the recent update I can't select the category with the up/down arrow key. I have to select it either with the mouse (slow), or press space and backspace, after which the arrow keys work again (which isn't a real solution).

I am also hosting Actual with docker, using version v25.12.0.

Bump on this issue. Looks like a couple of stalled PRs but can confirm it is still present.

'Bumping' achieves nothing, except annoying other people. Yes, it's still present, hence the bug still being open.
