Yes, I'm current (on Windows), and that setting is selected, it's the default.
After editing in a clip from the Media Pool, the timeline playhead will function, but not the previous/next function of the up/down keys -- that remains in the Media Pool, unless the timeline window is clicked.
And when editing in a clip from the source viewer, the playhead focus remains in the source viewer and the previous/next focus is in the Media Pool(!)
Are you getting different behavior on the Mac version?
Win7/12.5.0.052
I think I am getting different results from the Mac version.
One thing I'm able to reproduce is that if I edit in a clip from the media pool by dragging it to the right of the timeline viewer and drop it on insert say, then the arrows stay with the media pool. If I edit it in via F9 or Edit>insert then the arrows work in the timeline straight away (though strangely about 1 time in 20 I do see what you're describing, though I can't see a pattern of what triggers it).
From the source viewer whichever way I edit in a clip or portion of a clip, whether drag, F9 or menu, all focus moves to the timeline, for arrows, playhead etc.
I should say that I don't use the arrows normally for next/previous edit, though I did for this test switch back to the standard layout. For me in my own keyboard layout, for all of the ways I can edit a clip from the media pool to the timeline, the next edit/clip function works straight away. I mention this as it points to it being potentially a bug, around using arrow keys for more than one thing, i.e. up/down in a menu or bin as well as the next/previous clip/edit function. And the difference between Win and Mac also points to that.
