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

[TC8.0b3 x64] Cursor highlight doesn't return

Post by *Nickless »

When opening audio/video files with Windows media player, cursor highlight disappears
and doesn't return to corresponding panel after closing the media player.
This happens only when opening the media file with double click with Windows media player.

When using another media player, linked to the media file type, cursor returns normally.
Also when opening the media file with right click and selecting "open with", or by pressing "Enter",
cursor returns as usial, too.
When opening other file types, cursor highlight returns normally.

Windows 7 SP1, x64, [TC8.0b3 x64], Windows media player 12.0.7601.17514.

NOT confirmed here, same Windows version (but in German), same version of Windows Media Player!

Where does the focus go to? What happens when you press Alt+F4 when the focus is lost? Does that close some other program?

When I press arrow down/up, cursor highlight returns to correspondingly next/previous file in the pane.
If I click with left button on the header of the pane, highlight doesn't return.
If I press Alt+Tab and switch to another application, then return to
Windows Commander using Alt+Tab, focus returns normally in right place.
If I press Alt+F4, nothing happens, total commander doesn't close, other applications remain unchanged too.
If I launch the media file from Explorer with double click, focus and highlight returns normally to explorer window (if this will help).

Something must be stealing the focus from TC. Try closing background processes until the problem goes away.
