I can only this when an individual track was selected.

Here it stays in the field that was selected for the previous file.

What node and view are you in when you experience this?

Field focus resets when moving between track properties

Hi.

Just upgraded to MM4 and found out that there is a small, but annoying difference between MM3 and MM4:

When I select multiple songs, i.e. an entire album, and press Alt+Enter to edit the track properties, I can shift back and forth between the track property windows of the individual tracks using Alt+Right/Left Arrow.

Now, in MM3 when I did this, the cursor would remain in whatever text field I was in, so if I was editing, say, the Title field of Track 1 and pressed Alt+Right Arrow, then the cursor would be ready in the Title field of Track 2.

In MM4, however, switching to the next/previous song resets the focus, and the cursor disappears from the text field that I was in, so before I can enter text in the new song's Title field, I first have to tab my way there or place the cursor there with the mouse - a much slower operation than before!

Case in point, I have just ripped a CD that was not in the freeDb database, so I had to copy-paste all the song titles manually, which before could be done fairly quickly, but is now quite tedious as I had to refocus the cursor to the Title field on each new song.

I'm hoping this is a minor bug to fix, but nevertheless, pleeeeease fix it soon!
