FYI, if others hit this also, one not super easy workaround is to find the element you are looking for in the Chrome developer tools and then set focus (inspect > find the element > set focus).
Thanks for getting in touch! I’m sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this one. I had a look at our release since 2018.10.0 and noticed that this issue was resolved in the next patch version 2018.10.1.
