Odd changes of focus when editing fields
Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2019 4:27 pm
BE 13.1.5, OS 10.14.2
I normally use Basic view, with the sidebar open and in 'edit reference' layout. I've notice that after editing (some?) field, e.g. Authors, if I then click into another field (say Keywords) that instead of the link target taking focus, the focus is incorrectly set onto the main listing, i.e. outside the sidebar.
As the next action is often to delete existing content and add new content, the above has a nasty side effect of potentially deleting a record. Worse, it happens out-of-context. In other words, it's not obvious until after the error has occurred that the app has set focus incorrectly.
