Right-clic in Navigation -> do NOT switch TAB

Hello.

It's very annoying, when you have to right-click a different entry than the active one to copy a username / password or other secret because the the focus will switch from your active session to the entry's dashboard overview.

A right-click should not trigger that action, the focused tab should stay in focus.

I have a short video showing the issue, but don't seem to be able to upload it here.

Anyway, it might be better if it wasn't public, as it contains some company and personal information.

Best regards.

Hello Marcel,

If you go in File > Settings > User Interface > Dashboard, you should see an option to change the way the dashboard focuses when clicking on another entry:

Depending on what you want, you can set this to "left click only" or "never".

Let me know if this works for you.

Hello Hubert.

That's exactly what I was looking for.

I didn't think to search the settings though.

Thanks for the tip !

Hello,

I'm having the same issue, however the setting noted above doesn't seem to help. Changed to "left click only", also changed to "never" (and tried closing RDM and reopening after making the change) and still, it doesn't seem to make any difference. Right-click of another entry in the Nav Pane will switch to that tab even with this set to either "left click only" or "never".

This is in the latest v2025.2.17, data source MS SQL.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

David Willis
