Stroke not updated when using arrow keys
An object's stroke is not updated when using the arrow keys to increase or decrease stroke size. Then selecting another object without pressing enter or removing focus from the input box applies the stroke to the new selection.
Steps:
1. Create 2 shapes
2. Select first shape
3. Adjust stroke with arrow keys in the properties panel - shape on artboard doesn't update
4. Select second shape - stroke that was supposed to be applied to first shape is applied to second shape
Using Illustrator 23.0 (Windows)

Ben, Niklas, I can’t reproduce it using new versions of Illustrator.
Can you please confirm if it’s working properly for you now and you can change stroke weight using arrow keys in Properties panel? -

I have noticed the same. However (at least for me) this issue happens only when you adjust the stroke weight from properties panel. If you adjust the weight from top control panel or stroke tab, it updates in real time.
Nonetheless, I would also like to use this from the properties panel.
