| Summary | 0005662: CTRL UP / DOWN changes focus without providing visual indication | ||||
| Description | In various MM dialogs, e.g. Filters, Plugins, etc. if the user uses CTRL-UP / DOWN instead of UP / DOWN, focus changes as if the user had clicked UP / DOWN, but there's no visual indication that focus has shifted. Note: we can fix by visually shifting focus, or by disabling this functionality (afaik this is not standard behaviour). | ||||

This is a standard behavior, you can move focus this way e.g. in Windows Explorer (Win XP). The only problem is that in some views (including the main tracklist), we don't show the focus rectangle, so we are actually moving an invisible focus. So we could: 1. Show focus rectangle. I'm not sure about this solution, it might be useful in some cases, but in the past we decided to not show it, unless necessary, which probably looks better e.g. for the main tracklist. 2. Disable the Ctrl-Up functionality. I wouldn't do it, it can be useful. 3. Don't do anything. It's certainly an option, I don't think it causes problems to users, which it can be useful for some. |

In the main tracklist, MM normally shows the focus rectangle so it's not an issue. I was referring mainly to various configuration dialogs, where focus currently shifts invisibly. |

As for the other dialogs, where multiple lines select isn't used, there really this feature doesn't make sense and should be probably disabled. However, I don't see focus rectangle in the main tracklist, just with the introduction of quick links to Amazon the focused row can better be distinguished. So this is enough for now? |
