Possible bug

--- Quote from: Ulfhednar on August 13, 2013, 09:35:28 ---Maybe this is related to the drag n drop focus grabbing I mentioned in another post? (Dragging a media file to VLC brings MC to the front/top & obscures the target window.) In the past I've found click/hold/drag would keep the target on top & allow me to drag a file from the lower level window. No change in stacking.

When dragging something OUT of MC. MC has not control what so ever on what windows that it is dragged over. It is windows it self that handles all the switching of windows.

Go to next/prev sibling folder works for me. maybe you clear the keys for it ?
Ulfhednar:
I recall you mentioning this before Mathias, & I understand that you must 'obey' the OS as far as this level of interaction goes.
However if I open Explorer panes x2 & drag from the underlying pane, the focus/stacking does not change. (See attached)
I cannot replicate this behaviour with MC with click-hold-drag.
I thus imagined that some hook into the display management isn't quite right.
You have greater understanding of the calls MC makes & how Win responds but to me it appears anomalous. :-\ ;)
I will dig about as regards the nav keys, I haven't edited anything to my knowledge but maybe something is still damaged from a bad install I had a while back.

It is not that I must obey the OS.. it is that I got no choice.. When a drag operation is started.. It is handed of to the OS.
and MC does not get to do anything until the user drop the file.
However when I drag here. Nothing changes focus for me while dragging. only why I can make a program pop to the top is to hover over the taskbar for that program during drag.
Ulfhednar:
Well, I only obey when I have a gun to my head so it is a no choice kinda thing ;D
You can have MC beneath other windows, click-hold-drag from MC without focus/stack change, but I cannot, as soon as I click MC will jump to the top.
I cannot do this between 2 MC windows or MC & a 3rd party window. MC with selected item will always jump forward.
Using Explorer the windows stay in the same order as they started.
In the screen shot I can click-hold-drag the files in the pane below (*.chk) & I can drop it into the top pane without any effect on stacking. The top window (on right in the pic) stays put on top. Click-release will change the stacking order.
So the question is why? It seems as if something linking the interaction of desktop (e.g. DWM.exe) & MC is sometimes awry. With all the 0000000s of configs out there it might be tough to track down. Is there anything I can run to monitor the environment?
ice-man:
Ulfhednar :
I Think you are mixing up things and that is confusing Mathias
The issue is not drag and drop.. and that z-order is changed during drag..
it has nothing to do with drag at all.
It has to do with that MC is set to focus when mouse button down is received.
(When a new program is set to focus Windows will by itself bring that program to the front )
Explorer and some other apps set the program/window as focus when the mouse button is released (ButtonUp)
TC and a lot of other programs also have this issue.
