Description Grant Gayed CLA 2013-10-25 14:53:56 EDT
I20131025-1255
- happens in at least Chrome and Firefox

- on the Editing page select a folder in the resource tree by clicking to the right of its link
- press up/down arrow, see that the focus probably moves, good
- now select a different folder by clicking on its link
- press up/down arrow and see that focus/selection does not move
  -> the only way to navigate with the keyboard from here is to press left-arrow, which then enables up/down to move focus/selection again

I cannot reproduce this in latest.  I only see this when clicking on a file (not folder), but that is expected since the focus moved to the editor.   Perhaps we should not be drawing the dotted outline when not in focus so that the user has an indication that the tree is not in focus.

The dotted line should disappear if the parent of the selection model loses focus. I will investigate this in the explorerNavHandler.

The parent of the selection model is listening to the "blur" event but in this case only the link fires the blur event.

Investigated the focus event bubble up. Tried "focusout" event.
Seems that the focus out event only happens on the link itself, not bubbling up to the container as some articles said.

The bottom line is to add blur listener on each individual link but it is not the best solution. Will figure out a better generic solution in M2.
