Background color for selected items (inactive panel) in NC-mode long delay

#1 Post by H.Seldon » 22.10.2020, 20:52

This occurs in 828 and 831 portable versions.
In NC-mode, set different background colr for selected items in inactive panel.
Select some items or CTRL+A to highlight all in active panel.
Activate the other panel.
In the now inactive panel, only the last focused item has the correct background color.
After several seconds, all the selected items in the inactive panel show the correct background color.
It could take as long as 10 seconds.

I don't understand the steps to reproduce, should I select all in both panels? Should the path in left and right panel be different? Some more info would help, or screenshot.

Could you try it with default settings, or just try any of dark color scheme from me?

I'm using different background color for selected items in inactive panel in all schemes and I can't reproduce any problems, any delays.

First of all, it does appear to work correctly in 828.
I unpacked a fresh portable version 831.
In settings, I enabled 'Select items in NC-mode', and 'Extended selection with Shift and Ctrl'.
I changed the background color for 'Selected item inactive list'.
I made no other changes in settings.
I closed settings.
I selected items in one panel by any method (keyboard, mouse, or CTRL+A).
I clicked on opposite panel.
It took several seconds for background color of selected files in inactive panel to change color.

I must have gotten confused between running 828 and 831 before. It does seem to work correectly in 828.
By correctly I mean the background color of selected items in inactive panel changes immediately upon being inactive.

Eureka!!!
After many long hours, I have found it.
I finally compared 'FreeCommander.ini' files and eliminated differences one at a time.
I was totally surprised at the result.

In Settings - Select items - NC-Mode:
Enable 'Select items in NC-Mode'
Set background color for 'Selected item inactive list' different from 'Select item active list'

In Settings - View - File/folder list - Color/Font:
Set both 'Active pane' and 'Inactive pane' with exact same background color.
Save settings.

Select items in active panel.
Activate opposite panel.
Selected items in inactive panel will change to inactive background color only after long delay.

The delay ONLY occurs when both panels have the same background color.
For example, set background color for one panel to rgb 0,0,0 and the other to rgb 0,0,1 and delay is gone.
