Steps to reproduce
- Connect external keyboard (optional).
- Open two or more tabs side-by-side or top-down or both in split view. Place caret in desired tab.
- Press hotkey to ‘Focus on tab group’ above, below, left or right OR use same command from command palette.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
Yes
Expected result
Focus correctly shifts to the adjacent target tab group, including caret.
This works correctly on macOS.
Actual result
Focus shifts only partially. Caret disappears and up/down arrow keys still seem to be focused on original tab. Caret does not shift to target tab. Typing is not possible without tapping the screen to activate caret, however switching to reading mode seems to affect target tab. Switching back from reading mode doesn’t activate caret.
