It seems to concern SQ standalone (or as instrument in Analog Lab standalone).
I select Keys as type and scan down the list, either with mouse or keyboard and from time to time the focus jumps back to the beginning of the list.
I tried with Pigments and ARP and didn’t get the same behavior.

I have same issue. Have reported that on the support. They answered me with that:
Please try the below procedure, which explains how to reset your instrument/effect preferences:
(Make sure in case you have created any custom Midi mapping in your instrument to first back them up from the dedicated Midi → Midi Config menu located in the instrument side-panel )
Close your DAW or the instrument standalone app.
Launch the Arturia Software Center
Open the concerned Product detail panel.
Expand the bottom-right drop-down list and click on Clean Prefs.
- The preferences should now be reset.
Once done, please update the preset index
- To update the preset index you need to delete a specific temp file called “db.db3” which should be precisely located here:
On Mac OS :
/Library/Arturia/PresetsOf course, make sure to reach the appropriate Library folder as Mac OS uses different ones.
- Copy/Pasting, the path above directly in the Mac OS → Finder → Go to Folder menu should help facilitate things up:
On Windows :
C:\ProgramData\Arturia\PresetsConsidering that this is a hidden folder, in case you wouldn’t have for now enabled the display of hidden folders please make sure to go to your Windows "File explorer "-> “Display” → And then check “Show hidden folders”
Alternatively, you should be also able to directly copy/paste the path indicated above in your Windows File browser address bar.
Once this file is deleted, the preset list will be updated on the software opening.
I did that. But still I can reproduce the issue on some preset packs, in SQ80 and Analog Lab.
Also they suggested just remove everything and reinstall from scratch. That’s lame. It’s bug from some last updates. I meet it around few months.
Hi kel,
I can get the jump in the following setting:
Then I get a jump.
When I don’t touch the controller, I don’t get the jump.
You’re right, kel,
I’m getting the jump randomly both with SQ80 standalone and Analog Lab Pro’s latest version with Keystep 37 on Windows 11.
Wether I play a note or not.
Hi all,
It look like the presets in the SQ-80 V soundbanks Dust Materials and Raw Machinery are the reason for the browser jumping by me. The browser jump, when a preset in those banks are selected. Not sure if more presets do the same.
Can anyone confirm?
I’m trying with SQ-80 V standalone (1.6.1.4687). When I’m in the Explore or Sound Banks menu, and have a preset from either of those two banks selected and press Up or Down arrow on the computer keyboard or the Up/Down icons in the preset textblock, I notice various types of weirdness. It either always changes to the first sound in the bank, or changes the preset correctly, but doesn’t show it as selected in the menu.
Thanks for the confirmation @Talahamut.
Yes there is random strange behaviors.
So it seems the bug is about some soundbanks somehow and not about applications as such.
Yes, quite possible.
It would be unlikely that SQ V as such would have been programmed differently from most other instruments.
Astute observation, Talahamut.
Maybe you should contact support with this quite precise observation.
Yes I can confirm.
In SQ standalone, with Dust and Raw, using the Arrow up or down (keyboard) jumps back to the top preset in the chosen order (a to z or z to z).
With the mouse, the selected preset is loaded but the focus changes to another preset without loading this other preset. Only the focus is lost.
I tested banks having ten or more SQ V presets (Hyper Rave, Lofi Cartridge, Techno Emotive, JSPA, Vintage factory, my own presets with many preste imported from Ensoniq SQ library) and they all behaved appropriately with keyboard and mouse.
I tested all the banks, when I got a jump, the preset (Apathy Pad) belonged to Raw. It remains to be confirmed but it seems that when there’s a jump, the preset belongs to Dust or Raw.
So in Win 11, with standalone SQ, Dust and Raw seem to be the culprits.
I assume something with the way the preset indexing is created for those two packs specifically. I tried looking in the db.db3 database tables, but without knowing how they use the data, I didn’t see anything glaringly obvious.
It’s not your job and it would not be a solution for less informed users.
It’s also likely a big task. Good work!
If memory serves well, Dust and Raw were the two first banks for SQ V. Maybe there was a change in how SQ V handled the banks in later upgrades.
I notified Arturia technical support, with a link to the current discussion.
They replied "We already have logged this issue, and indeed I was able to reproduce it. "
It may seem a minor bug but these two banks came with the original SQ V and one may believe falsely it’s a widespread SQ bug.
This bug still hasn’t been fixed. It’s very annoying and messes up my workflow when I’m scrolling through presets 
Hi all.
Welcome to the community @oliwiaoh.
In case someone wish to do some work to get the issue solved, then you can try the following:
It finally look like i have located and solved the issue with SQ-80 V presets reset the browser. The last soundBank that gave issues was Dust Materials.
The problem seems to be related to somehow having two SQ80 folders. One named SQ-80 V and another named SQ80 V. If i moved the Dust Materiels presets to the SQ80 V folder and deleted the SQ-80 V folder both in the Preset and the factoryEdit folder, then it worked.
I had to redo favorites. I for example tried to move the favorite files from the SQ-80 V folder to the SQ80 V folder, but then no Arturia soundbanks showed up in the Browser.
I had tried to reinstall Dust Materials some time ago, but it apparently install to the wrong folder.
I also had issues with the soundbank Raw Machinery. But running the installer some time ago and doing some manual work there too did make it work. I had to remove presets being there twice and rebuild the preset database with that. But there was a new installer on my product site that apparently install that bank to the correct location.
Good luck. Hope it work, if you try it out.
It’s possible Arturia will solve this too, but i don’t know.
Nice discovery! I saw those two banks in the separate directory on my system as well, so I copied their directories from “SQ-80 V/Factory/” to “SQ80 V/Factory/” and then rebuilt the db3 file. Those banks seem to work properly now.
Yes, it does work. On the location of AL db3:
