Sometimes I have found in Geany that after opening a file I can't scroll down. After a few milliseconds I realise that the content pane doesn't have focus so I click on it with the mouse cursor and can then navigate via the keyboard. After this happening once or twice I have realised that the most common occurrence is that the toolbar is focused, so using the up and down arrow keys is navigating through the buttons on the toolbar.
Is this how Geany is supposed to behave? If not, has anyone else seen this behaviour?

Hi Russell,
Can't get it to happen, can you provide a recipe to repeat.
Cheers Lex

I see this too, it happens when I open a project and it loads all the open files again; focus is on the toolbar. 3 TABs and focus is back in the document.
I'm on Fedora 15 x86-64 with Gnome 3 desktop and Geany built from SVN, currently r5820, but this was happening to me in past Fedora (14, probably also 13) and earlier SVN builds.

Ross and Lex,
Thanks for your replies. Lex - I'll try to find a sequence of actions which recreates the problem. Ross - I'm using Geany 0.20 under GNOME 3 but I'll try it also under Xfce and see what happens.
I don't know whether or not this happened at all with previous versions of Geany.

Hi Guys,
Might be Gnome 3, both you and Ross are using it, but I can't get the problem with either 0.20 or SVN on Gnome 2.

I'm pretty sure I had the same behaviour under Gnome 2 (i.e. I've only been on Gnome 3 since I upgraded Fedora over the weekend, and I know I have had the behaviour for much greater than 1 month... just didn't think much of it).
For clarity: If I have a project open with open files, close the project, and reopen the project, the focus goes to the toolbar.

Ok, when I do that I'm not sure where focus is but yes down arrow goes to the toolbar, up arrow goes to the status window.
Not sure what that means, but neither is particularly convenient.

Should be fixed in SVN. Just for the records, the problem has nothing to do with Gnome3. I could reproduce here on Xfce as well.

Thanks. I solved it as you mentioned in your comment, by grabbing the focus after project session files are opened instead of grabbing the focus after opening each single file. Hope that will work in all cases.

All this is great news but I can't recreate my problem. Oh well...when/if it happens again I'll hopefully remember what I was doing at the time. :D

OK - I have finally found the sequence which will recreate this problem (at least for me). It happens when I open a file via the Recent Files menu.

I don't know as I have not yet tested it. I will download, compile and test the SVN version.
This morning I found that in fact this problem seems to happen even if I load a file via the menu File > Open > ... but that is also listed in the Recent Files list.
Since it's been confirmed that Geany's focus should not behave like this, should I raise this in the bug tracker instead of leaving it here in the ML?

Why not compile the SVN version and confirm first? The behaviour has been resolved in SVN as far as I can tell. Unless Enrico is keen on gathering statistics, I don't see the point in raising a trac ticket now, if it's been resolved already.

I have successfully compiled Geany from SVN and confirmed that the focus problem is solved when I open a file via the Recent Files list. However I can't test opening a file in the Recent Files list via File
Open because the File Browser doesn't show me files, only folders. I
was testing Geany from SVN on a PC with Geany 0.20 already installed so could this be part of the problem? Am I using the wrong method to run Geany SVN? I simply navigated to the "src" folder and (under Linux) entered the command "./geany".

Yeah, I've had that before, it the way you're running it I think.
Try something like:
$ PREFIX=~/geany $ mkdir -p $PREFIX/src $ cd $PREFIX/src $ git clone http://git.geany.org/git/geany $ cd $PREFIX/src/geany $ NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh $ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX $ make $ make install $ $PREFIX/bin/geany -v
