Hi,
As per our understanding the issue is as follows:
Launch InDesign.
1. Press alt+scroll using the mouse wheel to zoom in/out.
2. InDesign switches focus to the menu-bar so that the next keyboard press will enact the menu shortcut.
3. Type F, E, L, or T after using alt+scrollResult:
Menu entry is opened from the control strip (example View menu as soon as you hit the V key).Expected:
Key press should select the suitable tool denoted by that keyThis has been the behavior since quite long and does not look like a break in behavior.
Please can you confirm?Thanks

In the Adobe Community we were promised a team was looking at a fix nearly a year ago (above link, which includes a video clearly showing the problem). It's notable that this isn't a problem in photoshop or illustrator, they behave differently. It's an issue that appears all across the internet:

It is my main peeve when using indesign. I work on a smallish laptop screen, quickly zooming in and out is essential and alt+scrl is the only real practical workflow.
