Noticed when entering a number in the Clipping Plane Depth dimension, the focus shifts almost immediately to the Command line. Eg. instead of entering 3000mm, it comes out as 3mm, and “000” in the Command line. Similar when trying to enter an object name.

Only just started trying v8 (Mac).

I’m not seeing that behavior here. Could you please run the Rhino `SystemInfo` command and copy-paste the result here?

Perhaps related, also on the Right Sidebar, the far right icon for the Layouts Panel has become attached to the mouse arrow in a non-intentional, permanent, inescapable state of moving the order of the icon. Didn’t happen when switching to another open file. Re-opening the file fixed it.
