Description Holger Berndt 2009-07-20 07:35:05 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The list view widget doesn't get the focus when clicking on the background. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Visit a folder in list view that has a clickable background (i.e. just a few files, with empty space below)
2. Focus another widget (e.g. the places in the side pane by clicking on background there)
3. Observe how keyboard arrow navigation selects the different places
4. Click on list view background


Actual results:
Observe how keyboard focus is still in the side pane.

Expected results:
Keyboard focus should move to the list view to be consistent with all other widgets (including other views)

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Thanks for the report, I pushed a slightly different fix for this on master.

    Chain up to the parent handler if we click outside any row.
    
    By doing so, the tree view widget will gain focus anyway.
    Fix bug #589088.
