XnView Software

- switch focus to preview window (click, zoom, move..)
- press Ctrl+F
- Enter to search
- Enter to "Browse" the results
= keyboard focus is lost, it's locked in the empty preview window, arrow keys don't work

When searching, focus from last used panel is saved, if the panel has no items, it's changed to another panel, for example, if the focus is on Info panel, focus is changed Folder Tree.

I think, the focus after searching and using the "Browse" button (with mouse or keyboard), should be switched to file list, always.

MP 0.85 beta 1 64-bit, Windows 10 Home 64-bit.

I can confirm this problem. (Windows 10) Focus should be on File list. (Note: From what I can see there is currently no color difference between selection and hilighting when focus is in the file list.)

Reproduced

Related issue (bug?) - if the focus before searching is on the file list, then the focus is on the file list after searching, but no item is focused/selected, you need to press Down or Right arrow key to see the focus.

O.k., thank you, I can also reproduce the problem. Issue 1223 is fixed in next version.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.87. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

Fixed in 0.87 beta 1, thanks, Pierre.

Closed.

This is not fixed, but the focus is not lost completely, it's a minor issue...
