12.02.2020 Release Total Commander 9.50a release candidate 1 (RC1)
09.02.2020 Fixed: Synchronize dirs: Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown to jump to next/previous directory didn't set focus on header (32/64)
Unfortunately this introduced dangerous selection problems when using the keyboard.
It only seems to work as expected when using the mouse (right-clicking the directory header line - but then Ctrl+PgDn does not need to set the cursor focus).
In TC 9.50 final this was at least safer (one can see that the selection is not where it's expected, so there is probably no surprise after applying changes by mistake to files outside of current view).
Fixing the below keyboard selection issues would be nice, but reverting to previous behaviour (in TC 9.50 final) would be a valid option for me, too.
To reproduce:
1)
- set test dirs, e.g. left = %windir%\system32\Cursors (something with no sub-dirs), right = %COMMANDER_PATH%
- start Commands > Synchronize Dirs
- set [X] Subdirs
- press "Compare" button (=> cursor is on first file)
- press Ctrl+PgDn > Apps-key (context menu) > Remove selection
=> markers in selected subdir are removed OK, but:
use mouse / scroll bar to scroll back to the top for having a look:
also the first file is still selected, so the direction marker is changed/removed there, too.
Very dangerous when setting a copy direction...
2)
- 2x press Ctrl+PgDn (select the second sub-dir) > Apps-key (context menu) > Select for copying (default direction)
- use mouse / scroll bar to scroll back and check the selection:
=>
the contents of the second dir didn't get selected at all, previous selection stayed unchanged (the last used dir + the very first file on the top).
