We have three bases in Airtable, two of which are experiencing issues. The first base works as expected, allowing users to tab between cells, use arrow keys to navigate within cells, and copy-paste data smoothly. However, the second and third bases both have significant problems. In the second base, users can only copy or edit cells by double-clicking into them, and when tabbing, it only interacts with elements outside of Airtable in the browser—arrow keys also don't work. The third base is even more problematic, where none of the usual keyboard navigation features work. Tabbing and using the arrow keys have no effect, and users are stuck on the originally selected cell, unable to move or interact with other cells at all. No recent changes have been made.

Having the same issue with all my bases. Did you find the way to fix this? I think the issue started when I tried the Dark Mode, but the issue persists after deactivating it.

Airtables support informed me they believe it has something to do with the AI Assistant feature, and a recent roll out.

As a workaround, they advise closing the AI Assistant before performing a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5 on Windows or Cmd + Shift + R on Mac), which should correct the issue. (This did not work for us, but maybe it will for you)

Thank you Dan! It’s fixed on my end now. Not sure what was causing it, we didn’t change anything and suddenly we didn’t have the issue any longer.
