BUG: Input of Space Character > Heidi Jumps to Databases Tab

Hello, HeidiSQL 12.6.0.6825, Windows 10 Pro 22H2 build 19045.4291. I experience a very disturbing bug in the Data tab.

Typing a space character (ASCII 32) into the data field editor causes a jump to the Databases tab. No matter the existing content of the data field or the position of the text cursor. It only happens when the character is entered directly via a keyboard, i.e. the space bar on my laptop or on an external keyboard or even typing ALT 32. When pasting a space character it does not cause a jump.

This bug started to appear about a month ago.

I cannot reproduce that here.

Probably you reconfigured some keyboard shortcuts?

Please check what the "Go to" > "Tab 2" item has for you:

Thanks ansgar. "GoTo" via the menu behaves as it should. But a space character in a data field editor on the Data tab jumps to Tab1 like ctrl+1.

If it was a shortcut problem, then this should happen anywhere else too, but typing space characters in a table comment field for example does not jump.

Further testing shows that the jump happens only in the small text editor. So, a data fiels in the Data Tab, Name, Comment and Expression when editing columns. All other text editors seem to be ok.

After uninstalling HeidiSQL 12.6.0.6825 and installing HeidiSQL 12.6.0.6765 the problem seems to be gone. I will try upgrading again in a month or two.

There was no code change from me with regard to keyboard shortcuts since the v12.6 release. But I updated the VirtualTreeview code to v8.0.1. Probably there was some related change. But it's still unlikely that this caused the space issue you are describing.

If you once update again and get this space-tab-jump, please verify if that also happens on a different computer.

Thanks ansgar, I will post here once I upgrade again.

Just updated to version 12.6.0.6839 and the problem is solved.
