Sidebar selection of file and or folders is lost when focusing a tab/view

[titoBouzout]

Very weird behaviour, everytime a tab/view is focused the sidebar selection of files and folders changes ! We lose our selection.. (?)

Expected behaviour is to never trash the selection of a user. If I select one file and one folder, the selection must be there as much time as possible.

I can not seem to understand or reproduce this, can you elaborate?

select 3 files in the sidebar, and then keeping your selection intact. Try to change tabs, You will notice that the sidebar automatically changes the selected files to the current focused tab. . I thought there was a plugin for that. I found very invasive to lose our sidebar selections to highlight the current tab.

Thanks.

I actually just noticed 2 other bugs while trying to reproduce it. Opening new issues.

Thanks, I changed the severity to critical, losing the selection, is critical.

It might be a bad user experience, but it is not critical in that this is required for you to be able to use ST itself.

What I think of as critical are (mainly):

• crashes
• security issues
• unwanted permanent changes (to files mostly)
• interface glitches that make ST unusable
• similar issues that prevent you from using ST (and that are not personal preference)

This issues falls under neither of these. I agree that it's a major issue though.

The couple of issues with the sidebar selection, are imo critical. You sometimes delete a file you don't notice.. and things like that.. Having to reselect everything again, is complicated. Everything to just save 1 click..
