Misleading Side Pane Selection after Middle Click
Status:
RESOLVED: MOVED

Description slumbergod 2015-06-27 01:08:00 CEST
This is a minor "papercut" but something that would be nice to address.

I have the Location Selector set to Pathbar Style.

I have the Side Pane visible and set to Shortcuts, with a number of bookmarks under Places.

Now I snap the Thunar window to cover the right side of my display. 

If I have navigated to a directory, for example Documents, the location shows correctly in the Location bar at the top of the window.

Now I want to move some documents to another directory so I middle click on a bookmark from the Side Pane.

A new window opens as expected to the chose location.

But in the original window a curious situation arises. The location bar shows the correct directory but the side pane has now highlighted the location of the new window. This means Thunar is effectively highlighting *two* different locations for the content of the main pane.

The correct behaviour for the side pane should be:
- if there is a bookmark for the actual directory matching the Location bar it should be highlighted;
- if the Location bar directory does not have a corresponding Side Pane bookmark, nothing should be selected.
