Hi,
I am able to reproduce this issue in Release 116, Beta 117.0b2 and Nightly 118.0a1 on Windows 10 as well.

Thanks for the report.

The bookmarks panel has a sort of strange UI here. It has a menulist where one of the options (Choose...) isn't a selection, but is instead a command to carry out. Selecting this, despite the ellipsis suggesting that it opens another dialog, instead modifies the main part of the dialog and then removes the menuitem entirely, and changes the menulist's value to some other folder. So keyboard navigation will trigger the Choose action when the selection in the menu is changed.

I guess we could add some extra attribute to a menuitem that doesn't trigger the command on key navigation and apply it to the Choose item.

It is a fairly minor issue overall though.

Setting to P5 since we think it's a fairly minor issue but will accept a fix from the community.
