Tabs switch when umber pressed even without having ALT pressed

It seems something is up with the new tab navigation. I've found that when you press a numbered key it can switch tabs even without ALT pressed. This is really off putting when you are trying to type...

For what it's worth, with the help of scca's response above...

Repeatable cause: ALT+Tab away from a Fabric Notebook - return to Notebook, numerics now change Notebook tab.

Fix: Just tap ALT in your Fabric Notebook tab, numerics no longer change tab.

 

I'm guessing other ALT combo shortcuts might also cause the behaviour, but ALT+Tab has proven 100% repeatable for me and a colleague.

 

Edit: Actually, I'd suggest ALT+Shift to "fix" the issue after ALT+Tabbing. Pressing ALT alone will move focus away from your code block and require a click to get back, ALT+Shift is a valid Fabric Notebook keyboard shortcut that does nothing unless you also cursor/mouse-click - so tapping ALT+Shift will "fix" the numeric behaviour and not change focus away from the editor.
