[GNC] Cursor Focus on Wrong Tab

[D.]

Adrien, 

A couple of reasons: I never hurry updates; I'm lazy; with the turmoil of recent versions, waiting seems prudent; I'm in no need of newer features or fixes. 

That being said, this behavior is weird enough and sporadic enough that I'm still not sure that I'm somehow causing it (as with my troubles getting custom reports to load and display), but I am reasonably sure that whatever it is, if it exists, it's been around for a long time. Like a snark maybe.

David

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.
