I have a weird problem. When I switch from one file to another, the keyboard shortcuts for some actions appear to apply to the file I am no longer looking at.

I’ve tried ‘select all’ and ‘cycle collection type’ and they both apply to the no-longer-visible file.

@peterwestmacott I’ve never seen anything like that. Does it happen with other languages too? It sounds like an IntelliJ level problem.

yeah, that’s what I suspect

it is properly weird

I’ve noticed it a few times since the 2017.1 update to IntelliJ

I’m only really writing Clojure at the moment (:-D) so I’ve not noticed it elsewhere

it seems like some level of “focus” gets stuck on one file, and whatever other file I switch to, certain editor actions get sent back to the stuck file.

it’s more surprising than problematic

When you switch to the new file, do you see the caret in that editor?

@peterwestmacott ^^

yes

everything appears normal

but some commands appear to be sent to a different file

Hmm, that would definitely be an IntelliJ bug then.

it seems to be pretty fundamental to the editor - thanks for thinking about it - keep up the good work!
