Loose panel focus
« on: October 17, 2013, 08:28:33 »
Hello community

Quick question. I have a funny behavoir when I'm browsing my file structure in the explorer panel. Basically, when I'm in a locked tab and I hit ENTER to enter a folder, a new tab opens with the folder (that's correct bavior) BUT my cursor looses the focus of the panel and seems to jump either to the window or the path. I can not continue to navigate the subfolder with the arrow keys right away. I have to use the mouse to click into the explorer panel, put the cursor back into the panel, and then I can go on to use my arrow keys.

So the question is: When opening a new tab (for example by entering a sub-folder in a locked tab), is it possible to set the explorer panel as the default place for the cursor?

Has anyone seen this?

Regards

There is a know focus issue that happens sometimes when opening new tabs from a locked tab.
It is on my list of issue to fix.

When it happens the only keyboard workaround (I think) is to a very bad keycombo.. Ctrl+shift+tab, and then Ctrl+Tab.. (Go to previous tab, go to next tab)
