MacOS – Is the blue button outline in dialog windows removed in Yosemite when using Tab (keyboard navigation)

macos

Being a zealous user of keyboard navigation, I activated All controls in Full Keyboard Access (Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts).

In Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks I was used to having a blue outline on the button/input box that was active, and I could see it move to the next one when pressing Tab.

After updating my OS to 10.10 Yosemite, the outline (now grey) is gone on specific button types and for the large part I cannot see which button is active anymore. When pressing Tab repeatedly in a "Save" window the text boxes and switch buttons highlight but drop-downs and regular buttons don't, even though they are active (i.e. pressing Space will act as if I clicked them with a mouse).

Do more users experience this behavior, or is it just me? If it's just me, does anyone know how to fix this? If it's not just me, where do I report this bug?

This seems to be indeed a bug; I reported it on bugreporter.apple.com, the openrdar is here: http://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=5297887323881472

Also, the latest Photoshop CC 2014 seem to be working ok
