[bug or feature?] path field and hiding cursor

StickyNomad · Post by *StickyNomad » 2006-01-30, 22:25 UTC

When I edit the path box above the file list (by slow-doublelicking it or with 'cm_editpath') and cancel this operation with ESC, the path field loses its focus as expected, but the cursor is not shown again in the file list. I have to hit ESC once more to have the cursor reappear.

I did some complex calculations and those brought me to a total of approximately two Keypresses, where one should suffice

when I press ENTER once after 'cm_editpath', the cursor is shown immediately. Is the differing ESC-behaviour by design?

Hmm, confirmed, XP SP2... I wonder where the focus after the first Esc goes...

Well, if you press any cursor key just after the first ESC keypress, you will see the focus goes to the drive combobox (at least with my TC configuration).

Well, I have it disabled.

I supposed it

. Otherwise, you wouldn't have any problem to find it, as I did.

I'd confirm this bug but its not possible to see where the focus goes as its are not the drive comboboxes which are both enabled...

Not only that you can't see the focus, you can lure it out by pressing ALT, bringing the focus to the menu. Pressing ALT again, you can send it back to what ever it will go to

First: Confirmed.

2. In my normal configuration I cannot see where the focus goes to.
But If I start TC with a fresh ini (/i=.\test.ini) It happens as comike described before:
With pressing the cursor keys I change the letter in the drive combo box.

Could you please answer my second question then?
"So then how does the focus come back on the listbox at the second Esc?"

So then how does the focus come back on the listbox at the second Esc?

TC sets the cursor explicitly to the listbox when you press ESC. This is standard behaviour: ESC clears the command line and sets the cursor to the current list. The only exception is the path edit box - here I had to ignore the ESC to avoid this strange XP crash...
