#1314 Showing the find toolbar removes make the highlighting of the currently selected Entry disappear
Plaform: PasswordSafe v3.38 under Windows 8.1
If you click on an Entry in the tree view, it becomes the currently selected entry (e.g. for AutoType) and is highlighted (in blue) in the tree view.
While the currently selected entry is highlighted, if the Find toolbar was not showing and is then shown (for example, using Ctrl-F), just the action of showing the Find toolbar causes the highlighted currently selected Entry to no longer be highlighted even before searching for anything.
This is not a bug. The reason it is not highlighted is that the Find toolbar now has the focus. Click anywhere on Tree view (except another entry) and it will again appear highlighted.
I see.
Maybe this would need to be a FR, but I don't see why the currently selected entry can't remain highlighted even with the find area getting input focus.
I'm sorry, this is how Microsoft's MFC works (PasswordSafe's development environment) for all windows be it a ListCtrl, TreeCtrl and even Edit Windows. When they lose focus, any highlighting is not shown but returns when they receive focus again.
Contrary to my previous respinse, I believe I have been able to do this both for the Tree & List views and not use the default "light grey". If completes testing in time, will be in the next release.

Unfortunately, overriding the default Windows "light grey" marking of selected entries when the control doesn't have the focus caused other issues and so now we have reverted to the default colouring.
