In Delphi Rio 10.3 (update 1), the current latest version of GExperts (1.3.13.77 experimental) doesn not set the focus (back) to the editor after using the open file expert.
So after I've opened a file with the open file expert, I cannot type to change code, user cursor keys to navigate, or , for example, press ctrl-F4 to close the file again. I have to click the editor to set the focus there and then I'm able to get keyboard input there.
Was that different in previous versions?
Yes it was, in all previous versions (not sure about Tokyo though). I just double checked, in Berlin is still works that way.
This problem appears to be specific to Delphi 10.3 Rio and not related to any changes in GExperts at all. It works fine in all other Delphi versions I tried. Not sure what I can do about it.
fixed in revision #2673
The expert now tries to explicitly set the focus to the code editor rather than relying on the IDE to reset it to where it was before. This may fail e.g. if the user opened a form.
