Dropdown steals focus from entry field
« on: September 19, 2020, 03:42:51 am »

This has been an issue forever but it is pretty maddening when trying to use the software. If I select a column and press F2 to edit, the first character I enter pops open a dropdown showing matches - that is fine - what is not fine is that it steals focus from the entry field. So if I blank the Genre field and press R it opens the dropdown with all the matching entries that start with R... then if I type O nothing happens because focus was stolen. I have to click back into the entry field before I can type another character. Any chance that could be fixed? It's not a problem on Windows but makes it very hard to do any organizing and tag updating (which is the primary reason I have the software) on Linux with a extra clicks for every operation to restore focus.

What version are you using?  What Distro?

This doesn't happen for me.  It's possible it's the desktop you use.

I'm fairly certain this is related to KDE Plasma. In the past there's been focus issues reported when using it.
