Tabbed sessions are losing focus

Hi,
This is a tricky bug. I will verify what I can do but it's related to the fact the Putty or Filezilla are independent process. There is no event to detect a specific Alt+Tab.

Are there any internal or external solutions for this problem?
I suffer the same experience. The problem doesn't occur if I set the user interface to "Classic Userinterface (v.7.X)

With best regards,
Lacan.

What type of connection do you see that?

It affects all kinds of tabbed connections like PuTTY/KiTTY or Filezilla or Webbrowser/Firefox. RDP sessions don't seem to affected. I switched back to the classic interface and I can confirm that PuTTY and Filezilla don't lose focus there.

I switched back to the classic interface in order to not lose focus for tabbed connections. Now this works but I'm not able to use any of RDM's menus with the mouse. When I click on it, it opens for a fraction of a second and closes again.

I have to switch to the Dashboard in order to be able to open menus with the mouse.

Thorsten hits the point, its exactly as he describes.
I played around with the settings but couldn't get RDM to work like it should.
It would be awesome to use RDM as it was intended to. Maybe someone got a clue?

By the way, it looks like this is fixed with the latest beta (8.9.10.0)

What is fixed, the menu problem or the lost focus?

Just for the benefit of all, the focus problem is not simple to fix because when you have an external application, it's 2 different processes. It's very difficult to manage the focus in this case.

The focus issue, the menu issue still occurs

I fully understand the complexity of controlling an external process.
Still it would be awesome to see this "bug" be fixed. Im looking forward to the new stable version as thorsten said the beta is functional.

The menu issue is a minor problem for me.

Best regards :-)

Hey did you guys ever get to the bottom of this? Because just now I was alt+tabbing like mad while doing a website migration, and FILEZILLA would NOT come back in focus. I was so enraged I had to complain about it online.

That Filezilla bug has gone unchecked for literally a wole decade.

Hello,
To be completely honest we don't invest a lot of time in external applications like Putty and Filezilla. You will get a better user experience with our embedded FTP/SFTP integration. Have you tried it?

Oh. My. God. David Hervieux, I am completely dying over here. I have like 8 different FTP clients on this computer and another 8 completely different from them on another. I think I used Zilla because the person explaining a 47 step process was in his tutorial.

But you just made my day (so far, it's only Monday), with the absurd hilarity of your straight-to-the-point, matter of fact response, encouraging a potential lead that you are on the straight and narrow while casually opening with your first pitch.

It was 9 years.

Please don't tell me whether you just happened to see that and are a naturally gifted comedian and knew that would go down in Reddit history (shortly) - OR - if you are just a pure machine of a salesman, ready to solve my alt-tab problems and win another customer for life.

I can't know. No one can.

Thank you so, so , much for this. Made my day.

Conversely if you're confused and don't see any humor here I'd love to know that as well, And, being a product manager myself, of course I stopped and took a peak at your solutions and made a point to check them out later. But you sound like a man who would be a joy to talk to about transfer protocol.

I'm sorry I can't stop laughing. I'm not laughing at you... laughing with you, you just shook the whole internet with that reply.
