Agreed not a bug, but the more I think about it, not optimal either.

I have now changed the TOC Editor, the MetaData Editor, and the Spellcheck Editor to open the first time with their top lines highlighted/selected.

Took a bit of work because they all used different combinations of QTreeView and Models meaning I had to develop a different approach for each one.

I have now pushes these changes to master so they will appear in the next release.

Thanks

That suggests to me that it is a behaviour inherited by those dialogues from underlying object classes - presumably from the Qt library.

In the ToC Editor, if I don't hit space to select the "Title" line entry then… when I tab to the Down arrow button and hit space the "Title" line entry doesn't move down… because nothing is selected.

Added: Given that's how it's always been I DO NOT regard this as a bug.

Other dialogues containing lists are the same… e.g Reports, Keyboard shortcuts.

I suspect I misread the discussion about the ToC Editor buttons.
