slick loses focus after project tool-window add files to project

Add a file to the project using the project tool-window and slick adds the file but the slick app loses focus.

I tried adding single file. SlickEdit kept focus. Although, the focus went to the Project tool window.

Maybe I need more specific steps? Windows manager could have an effect too.

It's still doing it for me but not every single time, but most of the time.  I have a floating toolwindow all by itself.  I'm sometimes adding a file from a sub-folder that isn't part of the project already, and sometimes a file in a folder that already has several siblings  - it does it for both.  I have toolwindows set to hide when slick loses the focus.  In the file open dialog I sometimes double click and sometimes click the open button - it goes wrong for both.  The files are slick C source *.e.

It doesn't seem to go wrong if I dock the toolwindow.

Is the Projects tool window docked?

I'm still not able to reproduce this. I have a couple tool windows floating and I tried the Projects tool window docked and undocked.

Sorry, I see I didn't make it clear.  It goes wrong when the projects tool-window is floating but not when it's docked.  I just tried again with an almost clean config but with the xretrace plugin installed.  It didn't go wrong to start with, then I enabled "hide toolbars on loss of focus" and it went wrong straight away.
