Spotlight not working as expected in Ventura

Hello.

I used to be able to search for (say) a PDF in Spotlight and then open the PDF straight from Spotlight by simply clicking on the Spotlight search result, or pressing Return while the search result was highlighted.

It no longer seems to work. Instead, I have to scroll down to the bottom of the Spotlight results and select "Show in Finder" before I can open the file. Is it just me?

The current stable release of Ventura including bug fixes, security updates is macOS Ventura 13.3.1 - I would start there
