Running the FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE installer in a VMWare Fusion VM, I came to the disk layout section.  In trying to modify a particular line in the layout table, the popup window showing the particulars of the partition doesn't process arrow keys correctly.  The up and down arrow keys move left and right, while the left and right arrow keys don't do anything.  You're stuck cycling between the options at the bottom of the subwindow.  After considerable struggle I found that the Tab key would move the cursor into the upper part of the window, finally allowing me to modify the particular values.

Thank you for for the report,

How could you I reproduce the problem? Could you attach a screenshot?

An effort to import a new TUI library is in progress, could you run a test?

('% ./sade' should open the disk layout section).
