Selecting file in project explorer not changing focus to editor

[zzador]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.95.1
• OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Click on a text file in the project explorer
2. Mark some portions of the text for copy & paste but don't press "CTRL + C".
3. In the project explorer click on another file
4. Now click back into the first file and hit "CTRL + C" to copy the marked and highlighted text there
5. Go into another file and hit "CTRL + V" for pasting
6. What was pasted was the filename/filepath instead of the marked text in the first file

This behaviour is wrong. Every IDE I have used so far behaves as expected but not VS Code.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.95.3. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, it's hard for us to understand what issue you're seeing. Please help us out by providing a screen recording showing exactly what isn't working as expected. While we can work with most standard formats, .gif files are preferred as they are displayed inline on GitHub. You may find https://gifcap.dev helpful as a browser-based gif recording tool.

If the issue depends on keyboard input, you can help us by enabling screencast mode for the recording (Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode in the command palette). Lastly, please attach this file via the GitHub web interface as emailed responses will strip files out from the issue.

Happy coding!
