F5 and F6 stopped working after v1.62 update

I just updated to v1.62 and following the exact instruction (on Linux Mint 19.3) I got the rest of the F keys to work except for F5 and F6. F5 failed to refresh the browser (firefox) and F6 failed to refocus on the browser's address bar.

The F5 & F6 keys were working here just fine on the latest firmware on Linux... but I have my keyboard set to Windows mode.

I tried switching to Mac mode and can duplicate this issue. Switching it back to Windows mode fixes it for me.

(In between toggling the mode, I turned the keyboard off and then turned Bluetooth back on after switching. I'm not sure if that's necessary, but I figured it might be?)

There's a note that the keyboard should be used in Windows/Android mode in the udev section. Perhaps the document should be reordered a bit? (The Windows/Android mode should probably be mentioned higher under a general section at the top Under "udev" it's easily overlooked. The doc currently also mentions /etc/udev/rules.d/80-keychron.rules a few times too.)
