Synopsis: Ctrl+right-click sets focus to address bar
Description
When I Ctrl+right-click a feature or class, it displays the feature or class in an editor tab (possibly an already-open editor tab). This is great. Unfortunately, it then sets focus to the address bar. Please ensure that it sets focus to the editor.

I can't identify a pattern to it. About half the time it sets focus to the editor, half the time it doesn't, so it's easy to replicate.
It would help if you could identify when it is not working exactly? The code for this is pretty simple, if the tab content is empty we set the focus to the class combo box, if not we do nothing.
Actually it is now working sometimes. I think this is worse than before. Consistently wrong is more predictable than intermittently wrong.
I'm reopening this because it's still broken in 6.0.6.9618.
This is now fixed in rev#69426. The focus was set to the class combo for the case when you create a new empty tab, it was also applied when tab was created not empty.
I definitely agree, I found the fix but we are still looking at why it was done like that in the first place.
This is a regression from 5.7, where Ctrl+right-click (although it opens a new window rather than a new tab) correctly sets focus to the editor.
