Losing Focus When Task Complete
Guuffee:
Hi,
Have the same issue. Win 10/1809, MC running either from portable or local drive installed instance.
After longer operations (even if focus is not changed to other application during copying/moving) focus is automatically switched to application which was active before MC.
It sometimes happens few times in a row - as I do some operations one after another.
Otherwise - I'm happy with your product. THX:)

Yes Something have changed in Windows 10 1809 to make this happens.
I believe it to be a bug. Or MS have change how the rules on how Windows decide on what window to activate,
I reported the bug, But if Microsoft fix it is another issue. I'm waiting a while before wasting time to look for a workaround.
What happens in MC is because the progress windows for file operation is shown from its one background thread. (so that the main UI is not blocked).
So I'm looking for more programs that do this that also suffers from the change in Windows. so they can be reported to the Windows Team so they might fix the issue.
So if you see this issue in other apps please let me know.

I had this issue also for some time now and tried different things to find out where it came from without success. Then today I specifically installed Windows 1809 on my second machine—where the bug did not occur—just to test if the new Windows version was the problem. And: yes it was. After that I found this thread. ::)
I figured that it only happens if in the move/copy/delete dialog a message box is triggered where you have to choose an option. After you made the choice and the move/copy/delete dialog closes Multi Commander doesn’t get the focus back but the last used window before Multi Commander gets it.
If you want to trigger the bug, delete a non-empty folder or try to delete a used file.

Maybe you can change the kind of the progress windows that they are no longer have a own place in the taskbar. This boxes should be inside of MC and not outside with a own place on the taskbar.

I had seen your post, too. But this thread is older, and heading and description are more detailed. That’s why I choose to post here, even though Matthias (Author) posted a more recent answer in your thread.
But I think, you have a good point. It’s odd that the copy/move/delete dialog gets its own icon in the task bar and is not stacked above the “main” icon. Maybe this might really solve the problem.
