Inconsistent action in similar 'New [x] Layer' dialogue #58482

Closed jeremyferris closed 1 month ago

jeremyferris commented 2 months ago

What is the bug or the crash?

In the 'New Temporary Scratch Layer' dialogue, while adding a new field, when the 'Add to Fields List' button is clicked, the cursor and focus returns to the 'Name' data entry box. This is excellent behavior.

In the 'New GeoPackage Layer' dialogue, focus is not returned to the 'Name' data entry box, but has to be clicked on or tabbed to.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Similarly to what is described above,

  1. click the 'New GeoPackage Layer' button in the 'Data Source Manager Toolbar'
  2. click in the 'Name' box of the 'New Field' block in the dialogue, add some text.
  3. click the 'Add to Fields List' button in the same 'New Field' block
  4. notice that the 'Name' data entry box has to be re-selected for subsequent 'New Field' entries

To see the nicer method:

  1. click the 'New Temporary Scratch Layer' button in the 'Data Source Manager Toolbar'
  2. click in the 'Name' box of the 'New Field' block in the dialogue, add some text.
  3. click the 'Add to Fields List' button in the same 'New Field' block
  4. notice that the cursor is in the now empty 'Name' data entry box and has focus for quick addition of new fields, simply leaving the mouse above the 'Add to Fields List' button and clicking for each new field of the same type.

Additionally, after testing, noticed that the desired action works on 'New Shapefile Layer' but not on 'New SpatiaLite Layer'

Just verified that this is now resolved and working in 3.40!
