1304 App switch fails to preserve ... [7016]

Post by chrisjj »

... search box selection

When the focus is in the search box (unlabelled, untooltipped, on the Search toolbar), switching to another app and back causes the entire value to be selected, hence usually loses the users selection or caret position.

Persists on 1304.

Was in 1140.

Although it's probably a little questionable behavior, this is Windows standard, many other applications work this way as well.

It is not Windows standard. Plenty of apps get it right e.g. MS Word.
