Description
MRD-Quick-Connect AppleScript is unable to open a selected RDP connection with latest version of Microsoft Remote Desktop (v8.0.42 build 27319).
When instructed to connect, this particular routine is invoked:
if (connectionLabel as string) is not "show_connection_list" then
--Clear any previously selected list item before filtering
keystroke tab
key code 115 --home
perform action "AXRaise" of (first window whose title is appTitle)
keystroke "f" using {command down} --Focus on search input
keystroke connectionLabel --search query
delay 0.1
keystroke tab
key code 123 --left arrow
key code 124 --right arrow
key code 125 --down
delay 0.3
key code 36 --enter
The ability to manipulate the search query works, but that's where the magic stops :(
Anyone got any suggestions?

Research direction
Start with the MRD-Quick-Connect AppleScript routine shown in the issue and reproduce its selection flow against Microsoft Remote Desktop v8.0.42 build 27319. Done means a selected RDP connection opens after the search and keyboard steps; the issue does not name a test or file beyond that routine.
