Since some versions it is no longer possible e.g. to enter a new genre via the keyboard. MC displays the drop-down menu and the keyboard responds to one or two inputs. Then MC do what it wants. Flip to something else / stop playing when you hit the space-bar.
Trying to erase a letter (backspace) will take you to the library view Artist.
This happens both in the action window and in the detail view (F2 for editing).

MC is not useful for me at the moment!

Debian Xfce / Bullseye / MC 25.0.101

Same here.
The Linux version acts as an Alpha stage software at best.
I complained about it in another thread (responsiveness issues) and was told that it acts this way only on KDE.

Since you're using Xfce, That's clearly not the case.

MC (for Linux) is not useful for me at the moment either.

this was a problem for me a while ago but was fixed a few revisions ago.

What version are you running i'll have to double check it hasn't come back for me as well.

The problem has resurfaced for me also.

Just had a go on 25 build 101 and couldn't produce the error.

debian bullseye / nvidia prop driver / gnome-shell

wayland and xserver tested no problem.

It appears to be so:
As long as a term is present in the selection of the drop-down list, it is almost impossible to enter anything in the field. This is the same in the action window as in the detail list.
If there is no variation, Mc responds normally to the keyboard (Editing is possible)

Debian Bullseye / Xfce

This was fixed in 25.0.71, but has resurfaced:

Can't reproduce this at all, XFCE and Jessie.
I'll try another couple of variations..

Ubuntu 18.04. Gnome, Nvidia prop driver. Works fine with current build (25.0.101)

Yes that's true.
But it seems to be the only desktop on which I can use MC with Debian Testing.
Xfce - no reasonable tagging possible
KDE - MC is completely broken. I installed today MC 25 (before MC 24) the menu bar shows no reactions, Play buttons also not.

It is the first time in 16 years that I consider MC no longer be used.

Fine

Will give it a look if time permits. We don't normally test with beta builds of operating systems

Ok, I've tested the current build 25.0.108 on bullseye in both Gnome and XFCE and there aren't any issues with tagging.
Can you give the current build a try??

BryanC · « **Reply #12 on:** October 08, 2019, 04:55:56 pm »

I'm having the same issues with 25.0.108 using MATE. Lots of weird focus issues in the search box, tag editing window, etc. If you need more info, please let me know.

Yes, one very specific example that I can easily duplicate.
The ones geier22 had I can't reproduce with 25.0.108.

My hunch is that it must be DE specific because the issues I'm having are serious enough that they would be immediately evident to you.

Click on the search box and start typing > no characters are written>click on the search box again without clicking anywhere else and then start typing > characters are typed out

Edit tag>click a field to highlight it>click after the last letter in the entry>backspace>it backspaces one character>type a letter>no letter is typed out>click field again and type letter> letter is typed out

Ok, got part of that.
The search field works fine for me in Mate on Bullseye but I was able to reproduce the issue with backspace in a tag field.
Typing the backspace seems to lose the focus somehow.

bob · « **Reply #16 on:** October 15, 2019, 04:45:05 pm »

Ok, figured that out, it took a while!
It's that the window manager is stealing focus from the edit window when the suggestion window is created even though we create it as a non-focus window.
So the next build 25.0.113 fixes this. Also a couple of other windows movement and resizing performance tweaks.

Great! I think the search box problem also stems from the drop down suggestion stealing the focus, so hopefully this will fix that issue too even though you could not replicate it.

Cool, it's out now, let me know.
I might have to do that search one separately which explains why I couldn't reproduce it, I didn't get a suggestion box.

BryanC · « **Reply #19 on:** October 16, 2019, 08:47:31 am »

It works much, much better now, thank you! The search box is also better. There's a little delay between clicking the search box and having it recognize input (so the first few characters I type out will get missed), but the usability is way better and I won't be constantly backspacing through my views.
