Problem: in certain conditions, text input fields () in the Classifier's tasks panel ignore Left and Right arrow keys.
Analysis
Oddly, the only time I'm able to trigger this error is if the Tutorial appears when the workflow starts.
i.e. it triggers when it's the first time a logged-in user visits a workflow with a tutorial.
If I refresh the page, the issue no longer occurs.
My best(??) guess at the moment (which is still pretty weak; see below) is that the Tutorial component is capturing the Left/Right keyboard input but isn't releasing it (addEventListener triggers, but not removeEventListener), since the left/right keys are used by the tutorial to switch between pages. But in any case, replicating this issue is a pain since it requires a fresh new user and a fresh new workflow every time.
Additional debugging notes:
Anonymous users don't encounter this error, even though they'll always encounter the Tutorial component.
Manually opening the Tutorial and then closing again doesn't trigger the error
When debugging, be careful that you're not using a user account that has already seen the tutorial, or else you'll never be able to replicate the problem. (e.g. don't use zootester1 or zootester2 to test Notes From Nature: Capture the Collections.)

Investigation stopped pending additional help.
Low priority; need to see if other volunteers are reporting a similar problem.
Current workaround is to reload the page.
