The properties pane allows navigating between consecutive fields by pressing the Tab key. However, if one presses Tab after modifying some fields by typing a value, the focus then jumps to the search field…! I encountered this behavior in 5.8.0 (macOS) for

Threshold: Minimum, Maximum

Clip: Origin, Normal, Offset

Slice: Origin, Normal, Offset

I suspect this was indeed a bug that was recently fixed by reverting an incorrect focus-grab [here](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/merge_requests/4132). The fix will be available in 5.9.
