Keyboard loses focus randomly (linux)

[xnviewlinuxguy]

Using XNviewMP on Ubuntu Linux.

Been using this software at work for years, and love it. On Linux, it's been just a few months - was looking to replace geeqie with something more powerful.

As a professional photographer, I often have to sort and copy/move files to lots of different directories, and I find the dialog powerful for doing so (wouldn't mind a search box to get through the 120 or so directories I often need to copy/move to)

The bug:

Often, when I am in the 3-panel custom layout I have made (folder hierarchy/favorites on the left panel, middle is thumbnail view and right panel is preview) I will be happily moving files, etc. and the keyboard will lose focus, so then I have to click back into the thumbnail view to give it focus again.

Workflow is copy/move files in a long list, without taking my hands off of the keyboard.

This seems odd, and a bug, since it's random, seemingly.

Running on KDE 6.1, AMD graphics card, fairly standard Ubuntu setup.

Anyone have any ideas?

do you have a way to reproduce? or its always randomly

Seems to be random, but out of every 10-12 images in a list I am going through, I will get one time where I get a flash of a sub-window (dialog box perhaps) on top, and it takes away the focus. Then I have to click back into the middle pane with the thumbnails to return focus.

Perhaps I could try running it from the CLI and see if there's any warning.

Ok, got it to happen again when I was going through a Screenshot directory of 100's of files, going one by one in the middle pane (thumbnails) and on the 2nd or 3rd file move I did, it lost focus.

Here is the relevant (but not very useful) output from the command line I ran it from (some info redacted)
