Tab now shifts to toggle buttons in Layers Panel instead of renaming the next layer
In the newest update (29.6) the layers panel has some changes. When you hover over the toggle buttons, they highlight. Before updating, I could double-click to rename my layer, then hit Tab to rename the next layer. Now, Tab just moves to the toggle buttons and the tools at the bottom of the panel. I think this should be adjusted back to make renaming layers a smoother process.

Almost all of my work in Illustrator goes to After Effects, so layer naming is absolutely critical.
Just updated to 29.6.1 and Tab now goes through all options in the layer panel including Layer Name, hopefully this fix is working for everyone else.🤞🏾

Until last week when I went to the layer panel and started renaming a layer. Pressing "TAB" would jump to the next layer for renaming. Now it just jumps to all of the other buttons in the layer panel instead of renaming.
I have tried everything I found on the internet (reset preferences, reinstall illustrator, fresh files etc) nothing seems to work. -

I have the same issue, it significantly impacts my flow when trying to rename many layers, which I do often.

Indeed! I confirm.
I bet it broke due to the recent accessibility changes...
