**Conditions** - except `File Browser` all other plugins are deactivated - sidebar is on the left side - in the sidebar are three tabs (from left to the right): `Symbols`, `Documents` and `Files` - in the editor are two documents
**Steps to reproduce the issue** 1. click in the editor on the second tab-title, so the second tab is in focus 2. click in the sidebar on the tab-title `Documents` 3. close Geany 4. open Geany (result: the second tab of the editor should be in focus while in the sidebar the tab `Documents` is active) 5. click on the tab-title `Files` 6. tab-browse with the keyboard three times to the left side
**Result** the first tab of the editor is in focus
**Expectation** the tab `Files` of the sidebar should be in focus
**System** Lubuntu 23.10 Geany 1.38
**Remark** This does not only happen with the plugin `File Browser` but also with the plugin `Preview`, because in both plugins a new tab is created in the sidebar, in the plugin `File Browser` it is the Files-tab while in the plugin `Preview` it is the Preview-tab. This issue is based on the knowledge of https://github.com/xiota/geany-preview/issues/11.
**System** Lubuntu 23.10 Geany 1.38
- tab-browse with the keyboard three times to the left side
Is "tab-browse" a key on your keyboard? If not what key(s) are you pressing, ctrl+pg up/down?
If so works here (Geany 2.0, GTK 3.24.20, GLib 2.64.6).
[...] ctrl+pg up/down?
yes
I can imagine that Geany 2.0 will be part of Lubuntu 24.04, that will be published next month, so I can test the issue there.
BTW well done with the detailed report (except one omission ;-), I don't remember any changes in that area for 2.0, but maybe there were.
Closed #1318 as completed.
I can't reproduce the issue in Geany 2.0 in Lubuntu 23.10.
