When you select an item from a list and task switch to another program (e.g. by pressing alt-tab) and then return back to keepass the list has lost focus and you have to either click again with the mouse on the list or press tab etc.

This is annoying to me as I frequently use my keyboard instead of mouse and I have to move my hand each time to click at the same thing each time.

    Doesn't happen for me - KP 1.29, Windows 8.1.
    I can't see any setting that would changed focus on return.

    cheers, Paul

    I cannot reproduce this either (tested on Windows 7).

    There must be some other software/plugin changing the focus. If you find it out, I'd be interested in which one it is.

    Best regards,

      No plugins, I forgot to mention that I am using linux with Mono 3.12. Haven't checked it with windows.

    Mono is responsible for all window drawing and interaction so this is likely to be another mono bug. Dominik may be able to find a work around, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    cheers, Paul

    With the latest 2.41 this has been fixed (with the mono workaround #1760).

    finally!! Thanks Dominik!!!
