Focus rectangle showing up despite being turned off
Posted: 18 Sep 2026 18:31
1: XYplorer 28.30.2701 64bit
2: Windows 10
3: 100% Screen Scaling
Right off the bat, I cannot reproduce this in a fresh instance. This is only happening on my existing install, so I imagine the issue stems from my config, but I'm not sure what specifically could be causing it.
I noticed that after turning off the focus rectangle, the first item after navigating into a directory will have the focus rectangle on it regardless (that is to say the focus rectangle appears before I even click the item, it appears immediately after navigating into the folder):
This focus rectangle will go away if:
- I click on the desktop and back on xy
- I click on the other pane, and then back on the original pane
- I open up the settings window with F9
Here's the thumbs section of my ini in case it's relevant:

Auto-select first item is NOT selected:
Are there any other parts of my XYplorer.ini I can provide to help troubleshoot this? This issue is really weird, when clicking off a selected item the focus rectangle doesn't show up. The focus rectangle only shows up when navigating into, or out of a directory (at least as far as I can tell). And so far it's only ever been the first item (folder or file).
