I am not sure if this issue is specific to the fact that I am navigating vscode by keyboard or not...
It seems that creating a new file when another file is selected in vscode opens both the new file and the previously selected one.

Steps to reproduce:

• Launch vscode and go to explorer view with some folder opened,
• Select (but not open) some file for example README.md,
• Press the "new file" on the toolbar to create a new file,
• type new filename and press enter

expected result:

new file is created and opened

actual results:

new file is created and opened, but the previously selected file is also opened with it.

This is an actual issue, however we already have it captured here #87524
So let's close this issue as a duplicate and continue the conversation there.
We have this behavior from way back that focus on explorer automatically opens the file, however I personalyl would remove it. Some details here #67708

Anyways I am in discussion with @bpasero on this and we might change the behavior, follow #87524 for details. Thanks

I hit the mentioned issue, but I am not fully certain if they are the same. :) Maybe after I get a build with this one fixed I will be able to check.

They are the same, I am fully certain :)
The build should be out next week so let us know then.
