[bug] messagebox copying interference...

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

[bug] messagebox copying interference...

Post by *horizon »

Hi!
When there is dialog in lister opened like "not found" (see bellow) and you switch back into main total commander, some functionalities are unavailable...
For example, you cannot rename file by shift+f6. You can edit filename, but you cannot commit the change by enter).
Or you cannot copy (by ctrl+c) the text (for example filename) from TC's commandline, because ctrl+c puts the messagebox content into clipboard. (even if message box is not focus.)

(Otherwise, copying message box contents is very smart feature. Thanks! :) )

Confirmed!

Also not working: TAB to other panel, ESC in a newly opened Lister window.

The same in TC6.55
TC for Linux please!

I'm sorry but I cannot do anything about this problem. The only solution is to use a separate EXE for Lister (which does exist), but this loads much slower.

You can copy any Windows message box, not just those displayed by TC :)

In this case, make lister separete exe...
or make that message box be always on top...
or give that message box time-out to disappear...
or something like that.

I spent at least 15 minutes in total confusion, identifying what was going on. (especially, when I had TC and lister on different display...) :(

Please, change the current bahavior into something different.
Thanks
