Issue When Copy Or Move Files With Queue (F2) Function In Windows 11

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

How is this different from normal behavior when holding down a key,
Hmm, I read it as chanlibell deletes one character at the time (3 presses), but after the 3rd press the deleting continues by itself, without the key being pressed - but maybe I understood it wrong?
Hello
You have understood exactly correctly and your command is correct and this happens for every operation I perform with the keyboard

In the previous case, I tried to delete a folder with the del button on the keyboard, but the entire contents of the folder were deleted by repeating the delete command.

Did you try with a fresh wincmd.ini as suggested by white? Does it happen during similar operations in other programs like Explorer or Explorer++?

The issue is that I have released the keyboard button, but the system is constantly repeating the command.
That is why I asked if it also happens if you instead delete backwards with the BackSpace button - your delete button could be hanging - you could also try with the Delete button on the numeric keyboard - or with the other one if you already use the numeric Delete button

But he answered already that it also happens with the Backspace key, and any other key on the keyboard.

I have tried to reproduce the issue a number of times now, but could not reproduce the issue on my system.

Yes, I followed Mr. White's suggestion but it didn't make a difference
In addition, due to the severity of this problem and the damage to my database, I have installed Windows 11 and 10 several times and have also tested with a clean installation of Total Commander.

Regarding the second part of your statement:
This error and problem is not seen anywhere else in Windows(like Windows Explorer & Etc) and only occurs in the Total Commander software.

I think I explained this in the first post.

Before bringing this up in the forum, I tried this on two available computers as well as with several different keyboards and I always get this error.
Because my first thought was that there was a problem with my keyboard.

And the strange thing is that I don't remember any problems with this same computer and keyboard with Windows 7 and 10.

And this problem has arisen since installing Windows 11, and I have installed Windows 11 cleanly several times with different versions, but the problem still exists.


The only temporary solution is to not use queue mode when copying or transferring files on the computer, no matter how long it takes, because as soon as I use Total Commander in queue mode, any strange and unforeseen thing may happen, and worst of all, my files may be deleted.

It doesn't seem so. So it's helpful to provide as much information as possible. For example, it might be helpful to describe, in detail, exact minimal steps to reproduce the issue.

Does it also happen in the comment editor, when you select a file or folder and press Ctrl+Z to edit a comment?
If so, can you create a video where you type "abcdefg" in the comment editor?

In this case, nothing will stop you from taking the next action steps:
- Install any virtual machine manager, make almost your work computer clone there.
- Put there your copy of the Windows installation - the one you used in your
repeated attempts, as you wrote, to get rid of the problem.
- Check after installing the OS in a virtual machine - that the problem remains,
- Upload the virtual machine image to any available file sharing site.

Unfortunately I couldn't reproduce this, so I'm moving this thread to "Will not be changed".
