Bug: Occasionally file names not editable any more by slow double click

[pstein]

This bug happens occasionally but not always
It starts with a click on a (primarily *.pdf) file to open it in a pdf viewer or editor.
After editing something inside the document (e.h.highllghting text or deletion of a pdf page) I close the pdf viewer or editor.

Then I slowly (!) double click on the just touched pdf file in XYplorer.
I expected "as usual" that the file name becomes editable.
But this is not the case.Even when I wait 5 minutes a slow double click does not make the file name editable.
Even worse: All other files in the current directory are NOT editable as well.

The only solution so far is that I jump to another directory and jump back.
Then all the file names are editable again.

This happens in approx 20% of all cases.
I cannot intentionally reproduce it, but it happens all the time

I guess this is clearly a bug in XYPlorer v23.70 (and before) under Windows 10

How can I fix this?

Is that PDF preview by Adobe? I've often seen irritating focus issues with Adobe previews in the past.

No, I am using PDF XChange Viewer + PDF XChange Editor.

My Windows contains no Adobe software (not I am aware of)

[admin]

Me too, but I'm not able to reproduce the issue.

For me, regardless of the configured PDF previewer, the last previewed file is always locked,
even when no longer viewed until I select another file in the pane.

Yes, that seems to be the problem.

But again: "Even worse: All other files in the current directory are NOT editable as well."

I cannot figure out what the reason is.

I have had the same thing happen to me but I couldn't say what filetype it happens to (if any specific filetype at all), or under what conditions.

Does it help to open/close a menu? Or to focus the tree and the back into the list?

Sorry, Don, couldn't say for sure. It's been a wee while since it last happened to me but, if I recall correctly, it really didn't matter where/what I clicked as long as it was out of the pane.
