Bug: Focus is lost when changing tabs

[MarathonMax]

Description

I use the keyboard all the time. I like to use the down arrow to, well, move down a file/folder list. I also use the ctrl-tab/shift-ctrl-tab to move between opened tabs. When doing so and when getting back to a tab where I was down a list, the "cursor" position is not maintained; further more, I cannot use the down arrow to move down unless I use the mouse to click where I want to be.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open two tabs
2. Move cursor to the center of the app window
3. Used ctrl + tab to switch to the second tab & ctrl + shift + tab to move back to the first tab
4. The cursor position moved

Requirements

Keep cursor in the same position

Files Version

3.1

Windows Version

W11 23H2

Log File

debug.log

I'm having trouble reproducing this issue, this is what I tried

1. Opened two tabs
2. Moved cursor to the center of the app window
3. Used ctrl + tab to switch to the second tab & ctrl + shift + tab to move back to the first tab
4. The cursor position is still in the center

It might be from them being on 3.1. Can you also see if this is an issue in the preview version. https://files.community/download

I'm having a hard time following that, can you confirm if the repro steps I followed are correct?

@MarathonMax I watched the video, but it seems like the cursor position stays the same when your switching tabs.

It's possible I misunderstood what the issue is, so further clarification would be appreciated. It looks like we're both following the same steps, but it'll help if you can confirm either way.

1. Opened two tabs
2. Moved cursor to the center of the app window
3. Used ctrl + tab to switch to the second tab & ctrl + shift + tab to move back to the first tab
4. The cursor position is still in the center

Yes "grey area" stays the same but I can no longer use keyboard to go up or down Le sam. 4 mai 2024, 22 h 47, Yair ***@***.***> a écrit :

@Josh65-2201 are you able to repro this issue?

[Josh65-2201]

Yes, It's not the actual cursor moving but the tab selection moves to the tabs bar rather than the select file in that tab and stops triggering file navigation when using the arrow keys.

[yaira2]

I see, I can't reproduce the focus issue either but at least that points us in the right direction.

[MarathonMax]

Yes. You should have received the video. Le lun. 6 mai 2024, 10 h 48, Yair ***@***.***> a écrit :
