#96 There is still a focus bug
I reported a focus bug early in 2010:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2983200&group_id=7023&atid=107023
which was fixed:
http://repo.or.cz/w/rox-filer.git/commit/c2232d5075342347a8ff814ced5ce8b9e1cf64b9
However, testing the latest ROX-Filer from git (which is used in the just-released Puppy Linux Wary-edition 5.0), there is still a focus problem, as reported here:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02053
Describing it here:
-----------
You can right-click and from the menu if you select "Open As Text" or "Properties" then great, the focus is released from the icon. However, if you select "Send To" (patched by me to "Open With") then focus is not released -- the icon remains highlighted. This is a bug.
------------
Note, I patched the message string in the menu, Puppy caters to Windows refugees and they are more familiar with "Open With". I did not modify the code in any other way.
As the icon does not get released, errors can occur in a future operation in that Rox window. Users complain that they have to remember to click the mouse-pointer inside the window to de-select the icon before performing another operation.

This is a major bug!
Here is a recent post from me to the rox-devel mail list:

Fantastic, a person by the name of Nicola Fontana has posted a patch to the rox-devel mail list that fixes it. Please put it in to the official code:
