Focus change when using labels

Recommended Posts

when I click on one of the labels in the left column, the right window displays the selected subset of torrents, but then after a few seconds (variable) the focus then automatically resets itself to All.

I've just updated to the latest version and the problem still persists.

Can you help?

Thanks

Cannot reproduce here.

Does this happen after clicking default categories (Downloading/Completed etc.) as well?

If this focus jump also happens in any other list (in the torrent list itself for example) - then it looks just like sticking "Home" button either on the keyboard or on the multibutton mouse (if you got one of those).

No, it only happens with the labels. The default categories work fine.

The timing is strange. Some times it flips after only a second; at other times it resets the focus after almost a minute. This happens independently of any keyboard/mouse activity.

The only non-standard aspect of my set-up is that I'm running uTorrent on my second PC and connecting to it via Remote Desktop from my first PC. I've not experienced any similar problems with RD, but thought I'd mention it anyway.

Get Process Explorer from sysinternals.com, run it, File > Save, then post the contents of the saved process list in the .txt file here.

Does the problem continue to occur if the category list doesn't have focus? Like, after you select a label, select a torrent in the list to the right so that the torrent list has the focus.

Thanks Ultimata, I'll get process explorer and post the file.

The problem occurs whether the focus is on the category list or one of the torrents in the list.

I've just noticed another problem now. I created 5 persistent labels and only 4 of them are showing in the list. All 5 have torrents assigned. I've tried restarting, but same thing.

Eh, the only culprits I can see are the ATI hotkey poller (not likely, but worth suspecting) and McAfee. Kill that ATI process and see if it continues to happen. If it does, try uninstalling McAfee, which has been known to behave stupidly with µTorrent (invisible interface text, high CPU usage, etc).

Ultima,

You were right! I killed the ATI process and the problem persisted. But when I disabled the McAfee real-time scanning, the problems dissappeared. Turn it back on again and the problems come back.

Now I've paid for McAfee and I need virus protection, so I can't just uninstall it. I guess I'm just going to have to put up with the problems.

Thanks for your help.
