KeePass 2.44 on Windows 7 x64

  1. Open a password file with some folders and more passwords than can fit on one screen
  2. Click on the the Title column, then the Password column. The list is now sorted first by Password, then by Title.
  3. Scroll down the list of passwords a bit and click on a list item to select it.
  4. Drag the selected list item to a folder.

Expected result: the dragged item disappears from the list and:

  1. the sort order is maintained
  2. the scroll position is maintained
  3. the next list item is selected.

Actual result: the dragged item disappears from the list and:

  1. the list is still sorted by password, but entries with the same password are not all sorted by title (some of them seem to be!)
  2. the list has been scrolled up to near the top (but not the very top)
  3. no list item is selected.

    1. Happens on W8.1 as well.
    2. No position change on W8.1
    3. This is correct IMO. Why should KeePass know what entry you now want to select?

    cheers, Paul

    I tested a little more and found that this happens only when dragging an item to SUB-FOLDER of the current (source) folder. When dragging to any other folder I get the expected behaviour.

    Re #3 - I should probably have said "focused" instead of "selected". The Windows Explorer behaviour when deleting or moving a file is to focus on, but not select, the next item and KeePass is consistent with that (when deleting and when dragging to a folder that is not a sub-folder).

    So basically the behaviour when dragging to a sub-folder just needs to be made the same as when dragging to any other folder.
