win2k pro sp4, 3.2.0 1080. not sure if this behavior was present in earlier version or not.

There seems to be a behavioral issue that causes flashfxp to loose focus, as if using the alt+tab key combination.

Here is how to reproduce it:

In the site manager the left site listbox has a fixed sized with automatic scrollbars when needed.
Simply add a site with long 'site name'... Now if you make sure you are scrolled to the leftmost in the site list, you will notice the 'sitename' is too long to fit in the fixed size of the listbox, therefor part of it can not be seen unless you move the horizonal scroll bar to the right.
Simply make sure the horizonal scroll bar is moved to its left most position (default), then double click the site. You will now notice that flashfxp looses focus completely.

After a little testing i have noticed also that this only occurs if part of the site name extends past the right edge of the sitelistbox. If you move the scroll bar to the right until the end of the name of that particular site is visible (even if the start is no longer visible) and double click the loss of focus behavior does not occur. It also will not occur if you use an alternate method to connect to the site (such as select the site and click the connect button). Only upon double click under those circumstances.

Hope you were able to follow that, it is not an easy behavior to explain. Not sure if infact this is a flashfxp issue or a bug in the listbox control used, however can be quite an annoying behavior.
