[bug or feature?] path field and hiding cursor
When I edit the path box above the file list (by slow-doublelicking it or with 'cm_editpath') and cancel this operation with ESC, the path field loses its focus as expected, but the cursor is not shown again in the file list. I have to hit ESC once more to have the cursor reappear.
I did some complex calculations and those brought me to a total of approximately two Keypresses, where one should suffice
when I press ENTER once after 'cm_editpath', the cursor is shown immediately. Is the differing ESC-behaviour by design?

Well, I have it disabled.CoMiKe wrote:Well, if you press any cursor key just after the first ESC keypress, you will see the focus goes to the drive combobox (at least with my TC configuration).

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
I'd confirm this bug but its not possible to see where the focus goes as its are not the drive comboboxes which are both enabled...CoMiKe wrote:Well, if you press any cursor key just after the first ESC keypress, you will see the focus goes to the drive combobox (at least with my TC configuration).Hacker wrote:Hmm, confirmed, XP SP2... I wonder where the focus after the first Esc goes...

First: Confirmed.
2. In my normal configuration I cannot see where the focus goes to.
But If I start TC with a fresh ini (/i=.\test.ini) It happens as comike described before:
With pressing the cursor keys I change the letter in the drive combo box.

TC sets the cursor explicitly to the listbox when you press ESC. This is standard behaviour: ESC clears the command line and sets the cursor to the current list. The only exception is the path edit box - here I had to ignore the ESC to avoid this strange XP crash...So then how does the focus come back on the listbox at the second Esc?
