Description László Németh 2025-11-18 13:00:28 UTC
Description:
There are annoying focus losing problems on the Sidebar panel.

Steps to Reproduce:
Problem 1. After 1-click selection of a name of a paragraph style on the panel (e.g. at the end of the list), within a moment, it's lost its focus, jumping to the paragraph style of the text under the text cursor.

Problem 2. Moving the cursor with the keyboard, and pressing the Context menu button, the focus jumps in the middle of the visible list elements. (Funny combination of this and the previous is the double jump: first jumping to the middle, and after that, jumping to the actual paragraph style.)

Problem 3: Asking the context menu of the style with the mouse, the focus changed after opening the context menu, i.e. it's not possible to modify that style using the context menu in the sidebar.

Actual Results:
Lost focus.

Expected Results:
No lost focus.


Reproducible: Always
