040719 but observed for maybe a week now in dev builds (never before that). The first document I open in the editor window does not get focus, although it occupies the full screen (e.g. Projects tab is not visible). No KB focus for e.g. arrow keys, and not painted as selected. Clicking on the editor window does not help; nor does Ctrl-0. However selecting the Projects tab (sliding it in), and then pressing Escape to slide it back out, does focus the editor correctly. 1.5.0 b58; both GTK and Ocean.
reassigning
i've removed al older workaround that is no longer necessary, seems to work for me now reliably on 1.5 b59 and 1.4.2.
To the contrary, in the last few dev builds the problem continues to occur for me (1.5.0 b59 + Ocean) and in fact seems to be worse in that it occurs every time I open a file when the documents area was previously empty. I have to constantly be pressing Ctrl-1 ESCAPE to get focus into the editor.
I believe it's fixed now. (after fixing #44278 and #41681) I tried multiple times and always got focus to the editor component
It's still broken in a custom build from today (040803, US time). The first file I open (Alt-Shift-O) after starting the IDE does get focus. If I close that and open a new one, it does not get focus, nor do subsequent ones opened when the documents area is empty.
confirmed, the Shift-Alt-O opening of the editor was the trick to reproduce the problem..
I'm reluctant to claim it's fixed, but at least it works for me now. ;) the problem was that when closing the editor the winsys tried to select another mode as active, but couldn't find one. Thus kept the editor, but later this as causing problems when opening again.
This issue was solved long time ago. Because nobody has reopened it neither added comments, we are verifying/closing it now. If you are still able to reproduce the problem, please reopen. Thanks in advance.
