TC forgets the cursor position in locked tabs

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

TC forgets the cursor position in locked tabs

Post by *roentgen »

In a locked tab (no dir changes allowed) press Enter on a dir so it opens in a new tab and go back to the original tab. TC forgot the cursor position - the cursor should be on the dir where Enter was pressed.

It seems TC remembers the cursor position if you switch tabs. I.e. put the cursor on dir 3, switch to some other tab (in the same panel) and go back to the locked tab: dir 3 is NOW remembered as the cursor position. Press Enter on dir 2 and switch back to the locked tab: the cursor is back on dir 3.

Confirmed.

TC seems to remember a wrong position here - because on returning to the tab sometimes the cursor is on the top entry [..], sometimes it is on another dir.
This is not specific to left/right side or the directory structure (tested with flipping sides with Ctrl-U).

TC remembers the name of the file/directory it was on before. This is only remembered for the last active dir of that panel, not any locked dir.
