It shows the delete confirmation dialog, but it is not focused, because of that "busy indicator window" in the back (which has the focus), so I need to touch mouse to get that "OK" button pressed, or trigger windows until the confirmation is active.
What's strange is, that this does not happen everytime, it is regularly but now always. You can force the busy window to steal focus, if you hammer "DEL" twice very fast! In that case, it looks like the first screenshot shown, the difference is, that there are TWO confirmation windows then. The second one is hidden behind the "busy"-window (stealing focus again). If I drag the windows around, they look like this:
Perhaps there's something I can do myself about it, configuration-wise ?! Or maybe it's just a bug of some kind, don't know.
I'm on DO Directory Opus Pro 10.5.0.4 (4822) x64 OS 6.1 (B:7601 P:2 T:1) SP 1.0 "Service Pack 1", but it is since me since years, I might even remember this occuring with DO 8 and 9 as well.
Does changing Preferences / File Operations / Progress Indicators / Delayed progress indicators (or turning it on if it's off) help? It's 800ms by default although I use 400ms myself.
I had it set to 50ms (did that make any sense?), raised it to 500 for now and did that quick "double DEL" keystroke test, to get the busy window. It did not appear, and it does not either if I disable the delayed indicator completely. So it seems somehow related to those settings. I'll will have another more sophisiticated testing sequence and report my results.. o)
I wonder though, the "timer" for the progress window seems to be started on the "DEL"-keydown/up and not when actually pressing "Ok" in the confirmation dialog. Is that intended? Shouldn't it be started at that point, where the actual activity is kicked off? Just a thought, I guess you took your time working that out and my thinking might be kind of naive.. o)
I do not have folder/files counting enabled btw.
Consider what would happen if you have some other command -- say archiving the selected files -- before the delete command. If the progress dialog did not appear until the delete confirmation dialog, you would see nothing while the archiving happened.
