Need to press shortcut keys twice

[BackSeat]

Maybe this is a PEBKAC issue, but if it is I'd appreciate any suggestions for resolving it.

I have the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+W to split a tab off to its own window. Some time ago, I found I needed to type that sequence twice to get the tab to detach. I still do. On the second time of typing, it works flawlessly.

Any suggestions for working out what going on?

Interesting. My first guess would be window focus, that perhaps the tab is not fully focused. I sometimes find this is an issue, and that clicking on the page first makes it work (this is annoying but I believe out of my control).

Could you try that and let me know if it works first time after clicking on the page?

[BackSeat]

Thanks, but definitely not that. I have focus follows mouse, so focus is there anyway. Just tried clicking on the page first, then typing the shortcut, but I still needed to type it twice. I've also tried changing the shortcut key, but no difference.

Anything I can do to help isolate this?

Could you let me know your operating system?

Linux, Debian 10.4, running XFCE.

I'm affected by this too.

• Extension 3.2.2
• macOS Catalina 10.15.4
• Chrome 81.0.4044.138 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Perhaps it's due to interaction with another extension?

I have tried changing the shortcut key I use (was shift-ctrl-W, now shift-ctrl-Q). The behaviour persists and I still have to type it twice.

Yes I am noticing this too now, and it is somewhat new. I think the extension may not be "activated" on the first press, as I find that all subsequent presses only need one keypress and not too. Will investigate...

I have submitted a fix for this, just waiting for Google to approve, check for version 3.2.3.

Let me know if the issue persists.

Fixed for me, thank you.

Also fixed for me. Thanks!
