Does anybody know if there is a reason why opening the Find Panel pushes the cursor up to the column headers - it's not the end of the world, but is slightly annoying and I can't think of any good reason why DOpus would do this ?
I find it particularly distracting as I have setup the Double Click in lister action to toggle the Find Panel and when I double click I don't really expect the mouse cursor to bounce somewhere else.

I just set that up here - double clicking the background of the lister toggles the find panel.
The mouse pointer stays exactly where it was.
Phatman, do you have the mouse (control panel) option enabled which automatically moves the pointer to the default button of new windows? That's the only reason I can think of for the mouse pointer to move by itself when the Find panel opens.
Leo,
Spot on mate, I do indeed have that option turned on and if I turn it off the cursor stays put.
Any reason why the name column is set as the default control ? I can understand the Find Button being the default control (infact that would actually be quite handy).
It just seems a bit random that the Name column is the default ?
Cheers

It's a coincidence that the mouse is landing over the Name column. If you add or remove some toolbars to the top of the lister it'll land over something else.
Looks like the creation of the Find panel is causing Windows to move the mouse over where the Find button would be, if the Find panel were at the top-left of the window and sized as small as possible.
I couldn't find any documentation on how the "snap to default button" works in Windows, and it's strange that only this panel causes the problem, so it's hard to know exactly what's triggering the problem or what is really to blame. Maybe if Opus creates/initialises/resizes the Find panel in a slightly different order or different way then it could work around the problem but I imagine it will take some experimentation since the feature in Windows (or the mouse drivers) doesn't seem to be documented as far as I can tell. (Maybe I searched for the wrong things.)
