OK does anyone else notice that the up/down arrow keys now control the sub-nav on the left (Home, Profile…).
What moron decides to hijack keys which are needed to scroll the page? Even if this is a test it's bloody moronic.

heh, never noticed that – it's broken on my communities tab though, it doesn't pop out like it does on 'more'.
It is a bit of strange move.

Been like that for some time – kind of.
You can still navigate the page/scroll – but you have to push the right arrow key and put the focus on the page first.
(When the focus is on the left nav, you see a little black arrow to the left of the active icon … push the right arrow key and it goes away .. up/down will now handle the page scroll.)

OK so I never noticed this before. Now I can scroll again (thanks Auto).
Things are only intuitive if people know they are there. I tried to click in main body and then scroll but it didn't work. They really need to signal what's happening better IMO.

Caught me out (and drove me mad!) until I figured it out
