0.87: Keyboard navigation issue

Post by wartisoc »

XnView: MP 0.87 - 64-bit
OS: Linux - 64-bit

Effect: Wrong behavior when navigating with the keyboard using Ctrl

When navigating in browser mode with the keyboard, moving with Left/Right usually moves the cursor to the previous/next row. This doesn't happen if you try to navigate while holding Ctrl, for example to select multiple files, as the cursor won't move from the current row. Using Up/Down as an alternative works but it still seems rather inconsistent with the expected behavior.

To reproduce:
1. In browser mode select a file an then hold Ctrl.
2. Use Left/Right to navigate.
Actual behaviour (bug): Cursor remains on the same row, you have to use Up/Down instead to navigate :bug:

Expected behaviour: Cursor should move to the previous/next row by using Left/Right.

By pressing Ctrl, you change the focus (background color of thumbnail change) not the current selection

My bad if I didn't know how to explain myself to it in my previous post.

Shouldn't the focus move to the next/previous row by pressing left or right?. I mean, pressing up or down moves the focus to a different row but using left or right the focus remains on the same row.
