Cannot reproduce. Can you try and reset Blender to defaults and re-test?

Thanks.

On that screenshot I don't see the file as "clicked", unless the theme setting were changed in your installation. Selected (clicked) files should have a blue selection highlighting. That file looks like it's hovered, but not selected.

The file is highlighted, meaning is clicked. But I did as @WilliamReynish asked, I reset the application to the default state. When browsing for a file to open the issue apparently was gone, I thought maybe an add-on is causing the issues. Then once the file was open I did change the configuration for the Tab key on Preferences > Keymap > 3D View > Tab for Pie Menu to open the Pie Menu with the tab key, and I don't know how this is related, but the problem appeared again.

All the add-ons I normally add were unchecked so I'm assuming has nothing to do with an add-on. But I'm speculating.

What I will do next is to uninstall the application, download a fresh copy and install it again. But I might do this next week, I have a project which requires me to finish this week and the issue does not affect anything else with the application just refreshing the file input.

P.S. If I click a file twice then the input is updated, but not when clicked just once.

@Stan_Pancakes After replying I did notice how the issue might be replicated.

Ctrl+O to prompt open a file
Then browse to a folder, but do not click on a file, search for a file instead by typing in the search input text field
After search, if you click on a file with LMB, the file is not highlighted, is just focused
When you click again, then the file is highlighted blue as you mentioned

That's all the issue, is not an add on or configuration, when I reset the application I didn't search for a file but directly browse and click on it, the second time I searched for a file and that's where the issue re-appeared.

It seems to me that the search bar is set to focus state when selected, and when selecting a file, instead of selecting the file is setting the list browser as focused then when click again is when the selection is done.

I suggest to have an on blur action that set the list browser on focus when the mouse leave the search field an hover over the file list browser to avoid this confusion.

This is how all the text input fields in Blender work, when you click outside the field (or press Enter) it confirms the entered text, and it allows you to discard changes using ESC or right mouse button.

@jenkm I'm sorry to disagree, but this is not true, if you press F3 and you search, the search result is focused and first occurrence is highlighted. Not so when search in the explorer window, when you leave the search input, the search result is not focused. Only if you press enter.

So you need to decided, whether have the result populate only when the enter is pressed or while the user is typing, when typing desists then the focused screen should be the one the mouse is over, as the rest of the application behave.

The initial click exits text editing, closing since this is working as intended.
