seems like that it happens only with .rar files. i noticed that just now.

maybe files with more than one usual dots like this.is.an.example.rar

works fine here. Maybe it'S an keyboard issue? So enter is send twice from your keyboard and the corresponding Application is started?
Or a keyhook- program (AutoHotkey or anything)?

Another question is: where goes the focus to?

the topic title may be misunderstood i think. i cant find a way to edit it.

i dont use any 3rd party auto hotkey, etc.

the title should have said:

"losing focus immediately after pressing shift+f6"

it seems like to behave just enter is pressed i think. but too quickly even u cant understand it has been pressed. :)

the focus returns to total commander, just before the state of pressing shift+f6. the same file is at cursor, etc.

i ve a keyboard from the year 95. its keys are really comfortable and i cant find the same comfort from todays cheap keyboards therefore i use it.
there have never been problems related to the keyboard, i dont think it s the reason.

Edit your first post and change the title.

I noticed this loss of focus while loading a CD/DVD or ejecting the tray, and to me it happens every time. Also while inserting an USB stick.

that s not abnormal. at those times the directory listing automatically refreshes. that s why it loses the focus.

but i dont know why pressing shift+f6 to quick rename .rar files makes it loses the focus. :) maybe it s related to tc s built in zip settings..
