As in title - if i use explorer delete cursor disappear although focus is on TC - must click or press Enter to make cursor visible again.

Not confirmed, I need more details. Tried with Explorer delete method on Windows 11 with both TC 32-bit and 64-bit.
Please note that deleting multiple files of different types doesn't work in beta 1.

Please let me know if you find a way to reproduce it! I'm on Windows 11 too and I have now made the Explorer delete method the default, but it didn't happen so far.

Do you have auto-refresh enabled (lower part in Configuration - Options - Refresh)? It may be interfering with regular refresh on slow devices.

Disabled.

New details - the bug does not related to the previously described Card Reader, it also occurs on other USB ports, including USB 3.0, as well on hard drives, SSDs and ramdisks. It does not occur in Windows 7 on the same hardware. Most important - you need to delete only directories, at least 5, the cursor must be on the selected directory, so when selecting with the Insert you must move the cursor back, unless the last directory to be deleted is also the last object in the directory.

Occurs only on x64 version TC 11.00 beta 1, 2, 3 on Windows 10.

Just FYI, something similar used to happen to me as well. Sometimes the cursor disappeared after some file operation. I wouldn't know how to reproduce it, but I have certainly never used the Explorer delete method. Brought the cursor back using Tab. Happened maybe 10 - 20 times in total. Hasn't happened for maybe a year now.

Did you try my procedure? I can reproduce this bug now in 100% on TC 11 x64 betas with clean INI, while doesn't occurs on 10.52.

P.S. another probably necessary condition - similar window must appear at least for second - https://www.tenforums.com/attachments/general-support/89093d1485969046t-moving-deleting-takes-long-dialog-shows-99-couple-seconds-windows-10.png

Gral,
Hmm, yes, I can confirm, using TCv11b3 x64. My steps:
- Create empty subdir DeleteTest on my USB hard drive
- Copy 20 random test directories into the DeleteTest dir
- Start new TC instance with fresh.ini
- Configure Explorer method for delete
- Navigate inside DeleteTest dir
- Select all test directories using Num*
- Shift-Del, Enter
- Explorer progress dialog appears
- After progress dialog disappears and deletion is complete, the cursor should be visible at ".." but is not.

If you do not delete all directories then after pressing Enter, Space, Tab or mouse click, it appears in the place where it was before deleting.

This topic should probably be moved back to the Bugs section.

I followed your steps on Windows 11, but it didn't happen, the cursor went to [..] here.
