Active vs Non-Active Main Window Behavior

[Andrew Applegarth]

I'm running the 7.1.6.3 alpha version.

If the main window is not the active window and I click on a chapter, it will highlight the chapter name, but it will not load the scene list for that chapter.  The main window has to be the active window when I click on a chapter for it to display the correct scenes.

It's more annoyance than anything, but I thought I would mention it.

Thanks for the report

The program uses the 'focused' attribute for lists to decide what to react to. 

However, I'm curious how you click a chapter in the list without making the main window the focus?  I just tested on my system, and when I click a chapter (with the main window not focused), it first focuses the main window, and then handles the click like it's supposed to.

It generally happens when I have the current scene open and active on my second monitor, but need to review a previous scene in a previous chapter to make sure I'm consistent about something.  So, the main window becomes the focus when I click, but wasn't prior to the click.

Well, this is just weird.  It's been a very consistent annoyance, until I just tried to test it again to make sure I was explaining it right, only for it to work, most of the time.  It still happened multiple times, so I wasn't imagining it, but it appears to be a symptom of something else rather than its own issue.  I'll update if I figure out the real trigger.

Is it another app forcing itself to 'always on top'?
