File Explorer deletion bug still unfixed
 

Difficult to believe Microsoft hasn't fixed the bug that causes File
Explorer to lose focus after a delete operation. But seriously, that one
is so obvious, surely they know about it.

I have never noticed it and it does not seem to be happening right now.

This is a smartphone user troll pretending

https://developers.whatismybrowser.c...arse-useragent

input: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/60.8.0

output: Thunderbird 60.8 on Windows 10

The official releases are here.

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/thun...leases/60.8.0/

A third-party port prepared by someone other than Mozilla, is here.
The branding requirements would normally reject stamping the file
with "Thunderbird" and using some other name instead. Just as
off-brand Firefox is "IceWeasel" or similar. It would not be "legal"
for a third party to place Thunderbird branding on it -- this can
be reinforced as a trademark violation if necessary.

There's a good chance that's a Win32 style application with
that user agent. A Metro version would likely have a different
user agent than that.

Since user agents can be spoofed, you also don't really
know what that is.

As for your initial report, do you use extensive ShellEx
on your install ? Maybe the problem is related to something
you've plugged into Explorer, and others aren't seeing the
exact same symptoms.

Explorer does have problems. It has problems handling a file folder
with 50000-60000 or so files. And File Explorer can be rendered
"railed" if presented with a folder with only a million files.
It will consume 15GB of RAM, and just sit there with the
spinning icon. Whereas if you "dir" the same folder in
a Command Prompt window, the computer seemingly does the
impossible. It can read and sort a 40GB $MFT in only 22 seconds
or so. Which is almost FTL as software goes. It's able
to read stuff from memory, at around 2GB per second, which
isn't something you see every day.

But Explorer on the other hand, doesn't scale well at all. It could,
but it doesn't.

It was a bug, for months if not years. I posted about it multiple times.
It appears to be fixed. I might have been mistaken earlier today when
the file manager appeared to lose focus after deleting a file.

It wasn't something on my system. I've never heard of unintentionally
causing a program to lose focus. Windows has always protected focus.
There are rare exceptions, but properly functioning legitimate programs
do not steal focus. Changing focus is for the user to decide, for the
obvious reason.

Even the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) function to programmatically
switch windows requires a simple trick to work properly. Unintentional
programmatic switching of windows doesn't happen unless you are using a
bad program. There is no reason to deactivate the file manager just
because a file is deleted.

Nope. Just happened again.
My job, try to reproduce the @#$! thing.
