Unexpected switch-context multi-select behaviour

[mikhail5555]

Current and expected behavior

When using the Switch Context command, and going to the main screen

Expected Behavior:

selecting an entry and then clicking Enter I would expect to only have that single cluster selected/connected.

Current Behavior:

But as the behaviour got changed in 1.6.2, it now adds the selected cluster to the "mutli cluster" feature, requiring manually deselecting all old clusters with space (which makes switching between two clusters pretty annoying.)

Also I don't see any mention of it in the changelog, so could it be it was an accidental change?

It’s on the “improvements” section of the changelog

the intention was to make it faster to re-connect to previous clusters, but I can see how that’s annoying when switching clusters.

for now, you can press ESC and it’ll clear the selection, but I’ll review this for the next minor release.

Do you think the previous behaviour was better?
What if the preselection only happened when the launches?

Thank you for your awesome quick reply.

to answer your questions:

Do you think the previous behaviour was better?

In my opinion it was, when you do a "hard" select (like enter and or double clicking) I personaly expect only that single entry to be selected. With more "soft" selects, like space, I do expect to enter some kind of multi select mode (or holding control while clicking).

What if the preselection only happened when the launches?

I would honestly expect it to "skip" the select screen all togheter and just re-connect to the previously connected cluster(s). But it won't conflict with "quick" switching between clusters, So I don't mind.

Ah yes I noticed that once, but from the changelog it seemed only to affect on-startup. So didn't know it was expected behavior or not

Hi @mikhail5555 I reverted this feature on 1.6.3 until I find a better way of doing it.
