Thanks for confirming this as I didn't know if it was my config or something.
I'd like to add if possible, if there would the ability to restore the previously functionality of being able to just hit a number from 1 to 9 to set the priority of a task as well.
Didn't want to conflate things too much, but it would be great if there was a config option around this before I would have to make a workaround in Elisp instead.
Confirmed
I can reproduce this in org 9.4.6, Emacs 27.2. Bug confirmed.
