1482863 - Focus ring screen update issue with Reorder Attachments > Sort A-Z/Z-A

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Thomas D. (:thomas8)]

STR

1) composition with 3 attachments, A.txt, B.txt, C.txt
2) A.txt should have focus ring, but not be selected (Ctrl+Click to deselect)
3) Open list context menu from attachment pane whitespace
4) Reorder Attachments
5) Sort Z-A
5a) hover A.txt which is now at bottom of list
6) Sort A-Z

Actual result

5) Focus ring disappears
5a) upon hovering the item which last had the focus ring (A.txt), it reappears
6) Going back to original order restores focus ring on A.txt

Expected result

5) Focus ring must never disappear

I think it's by design that the focus ring remains on the initial item regardless of the position of that item after resorting, which makes some sense, but it shouldn't entirely go away. This looks like a css updating artefact.

Thanks, wfm 108.0a1 (2022-10-25) (64-bit), Win10.

Behaviour depends whether attachment pane context menu is opened via context menu key from deselected focused item or via right-click, but both behaviours work in their own way (the latter selects the first item when Reorder attachments is chosen, which is ok).
