[GNC] Cursor Focus on Wrong Tab

[Adrien Monteleone]

Just out of curiosity, why stay with 3.5 on Win10? I understand some Linux users stick with old versions in their repo, and some people still haven’t migrated from 2.6, but I don’t see anything compelling with 3.5 over 3.10. I wonder if that behavior still exists in 3.10?

Regards,
Adrien

If, instead, I restart gnucash and repeat the steps, then tab C is the register with focus-- even if I repeat my steps later in the session from tab B. It's almost as if the first register from which you jump is the special register until restart.

Your clicks on other entries in the visible register return thre focus to this register.
