Tag editor erroneously highlights and overwrites tags

(1/3) > >>

BryanC:
When I am editing a tag in tag editor and it pattern matches an existing entry in my library, it will automatically highlight the string I am entering. When that happens any key I press next (other than the right arrow, which clears the highlight) will overwrite everything I have just entered.

If I get what you are doing, it seems to do the same in Windows.
I think that's the expected behavior.
I click off of the tag itself to clear the select when just changing one or a few characters.

BryanC:
I'm not seeing the same behavior in Windows. I get the drop down options when it pattern matches, but it doesn't highlight the text.

To be more clear, I attached a video of the problem, the first attempt at editing the tag in the tag edit window is on Linux and the second is on my Windows machine. On the Linux machine the tag is highlighted and subsequently overwritten by my continued typing, on Windows I can write in the full tag (Indie;Electronic) and save it without a problem.

Looking at your video, it looks like you can start typing and at some point it jumps out of the edit box?

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me and I can't duplicate it on my machine. It sounds like there is a window focus stealing issue perhaps by your window manager?

BryanC:
It doesn't jump out of the edit box, it stays in the edit box and highlights all of the text in the edit box.
