Photos info panel loses focus

For nearly a year now, when trying to set keywords or location for photos (one or multiple) I click in the field and within a second or two, focus is taken away. For keywords, the CMD-K shortcut is a workable work-around, is there a similar work-around for setting locations?


(or even better, is this bug ever going to get fixed?)


This is Photos 5.0 on OS 10.15.7 (Catalina)

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

It's not an issue for me, on the same version, so I suspect it is more likely to be some other app or process stealing focus.


Can you:

1 - Make sure all other apps are closed - try also to close as many menu bar processes as possible.

2 - If it still does it after 1, try restarting the MacBook in safe-mode and try again.
