TabKey from Live-Filter Box Cycles

Post by WirlyWirly »

I'm not sure when it started, but there was a time when if the live-filter box had focus, pressing the TabKey would always return focus to the list. The same behavior as pressing the TabKey from the Address bar and Tree does now.

However, the current behavior is to cycle focus to the Address Bar (sometimes even the Tree) before having to once again press the TabKey to go to the list.

It's not a huge deal, but it is a bug I noticed and run into dozens of times a day. With all the Live-Filter updates going on recently, it felt like a good time to bring it up.

I'm not aware of any changes here. TabKey always moved between the 5 main controls.

Shift+Tab returns to list for as long as I remember.

Whoops, yes I see that behavior with TabKeyPanes=1, but I have this issue when setting TabKeyPanes=2 Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Dual Pane | Tab key = "Tab between both panes only"

The panes will switch between themselves as expected, while the Address Bar and Tree will return focus to the last used pane and stay there. Only the Live-Filter box will cycle between another control before returning focus to the pane.

*Edit*
I guess I'd forgotten, but this isn't the first time I've run into an issue with TabKeyPanes=2: viewtopic.php?t=25381

Confirmed. But I don't think this ever worked. Fixed in next beta.
