It's a known bug:

The fix will be non-trivial so it's too late to fix this for 0.8 (coming 
soon!).  Hopefully for 0.9.

Well, you can advance to the next photo by press Alt+P N (the keyboard 
mnemonic for Photo->Next Photo).  But I don't claim that's a shortcut 
you'd actually want to use.  :)  It seems like a reasonable idea to have 
a better shortcut here.  Perhaps Ctrl+Left/Right or Alt+Left/Right might 
make sense.  I've ticketed this here:
