This is total annoying and counter productive to my flow.
As a temporary work around I am running this script in a JavaScript browser extension:
document.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
const alreadedSelectedDiv = event.target.closest('div[aria-selected="true"]');
if (alreadedSelectedDiv) {
handleAlreadySelectedClick(alreadedSelectedDiv);
}
});
function handleAlreadySelectedClick(selectedDiv) {
// Code to execute when a selected div is clicked
var nextTarget = selectedDiv.closest('[role="tree"]').querySelector('div[aria-selected="false"]');
if(nextTarget){
nextTarget.click();//click another folder
selectedDiv.click();//click back to target folder
}else{
console.log("no other folders to click!");
}
}
It just clicks a different folder for you then back to the folder you were already on.

How did you create the extension? I have many users complaining about this problem. Thanks a lot

I'm not sure about the extension. Maybe someone else's post?
I added the inbox to my favorites, per another poster's suggestion.
It ends up right above the normal Inbox so it's a good work around.
Then I complained using:- Sergiorpo_2023Mar 10, 2023Copper Contributor@SunPermisos Sorry. I was wrong.
I have tested it now and it works.
Already fixed.- brains-engineeringMar 10, 2023Copper ContributorConfirm it is fixed! Kudos to Microsoft!
