File and Model Browser Bar creates new window

[devin.hulshof]

With 2020, I am have trouble with switching windows becoming dragging the file/model tab to be a new window/item. Is there a setting to change this sensitivity/how much you much the tab before it becomes a new item?

The File/Window Browse Toolbar at bottom of screen is too sensitive, click to change file windows with slight accidental drag of mouse, and it pulls the file to create a new window. Same thing happens with File Browser on side with the Model, iLogic, and Vault tabs. Can you please point me to a setting, or an active forum request.

Thanks.

@devin.hulshof  If I understand you...I would think this may be an issue with either your specific screen resolution maybe or potentially an issue with your mouse pointer motion speed. 

What resolution and any windows scaling do you have set??

I certainly wouldn't consider it to be too sensitive now for my settings..

2560 x 1080 resolution (100% Windows scaling) and Mouse motion speed 4 clicks down from full "fast"

Were you able to get an answer or find a solution to your original question?

Hi! The original posting was a bit vague. I think this is probably about the last opened file behavior. It can manifest itself in different ways. Key stroke is ignored. Last opened file is selected automatically. Selecting a new file is difficult in File Open dialog (or any File accessing dialog).

This has been discussed before. The behavior can be found in 2018, 2019, and 2020. We have been working on a fix. It will be available in the coming updates (2020.3 and double-dot updates to 2018 and 2019).

Many thanks!
