Rename file sometimes makes filelist items unselectable

[dirTdogE]

Maybe once in every 5-10 times I rename a file, I will lose the ability to select/highlight, etc. the files in either the remote or local pane. At this point, Filezilla becomes unusable. The only way to recover is to relaunch the program or to disconnect and then reconnect.

This issue may have started with Filezilla version 3.

Which version of FileZilla are you using?

3.1.0.1

Are you using the official binaries from filezilla-project.org or the packages provided by your distribution? In the latter case, which wxWidgets version do you have installed?

[dirTdogE]

I am using the packages from Fedora. Umm ... I'm not entirely sure. Would you be referring to wxGTK-2.8.7-2.fc9 ("GTK2 port of the wxWidgets GUI library")? That's the closest thing I could find?

But I also noticed there I have compat-wxGTK26-2.6.4-2 ("GTK2 port of the wxWidgets GUI library") installed. If these two packages are indeed related to what you're talking about, maybe FZ only found the old version?

I've actually just now uninstalled the compat version since nothing else depended upon it. If you have no further comment, I guess I'll just let you know if the problem persists.

It's still happening, but I believe I may have discovered what is causing the inconsistency. If I press enter when I am finished entering the new file name, it appears that this error does not occur. However, if I use my mouse to "click off of" the file, the error does occur.

Most likely just a focus issues caused by a bug in wxWidgets. The focus handling has been improved in wxWidgets since 2.8.7. If you upgrade to wxWidgets 2.8.8 (or better, 2.8.9), this issue should go away.
