Sidebar lose focus after clicking
planned
realCrush
Currently, when clicking on a conversation in the sidebar, the focus quickly shifts from the sidebar to the input box. Correspondingly, the conversation in the sidebar quickly changes from blue to gray. I expected the selected conversation in the sidebar to remain blue and be able to switch conversations using the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it was designed this way.

It was designed this way. I might add an option for this, but for the majority of users, they want to start chatting after selecting a chat.
On rare case where you want to manage chats, you can click on that same chat and it will be highlighted (in blue)

Daniel Nguyen I understand, and I also agree that most users would prefer to start typing directly.
The following process seems to be more reasonable 🤔:
- When a user clicks directly on an item from the list, the focus switches to the input box
- At this point, if the user presses the escorleft arrowkey, the focus shifts to the sidebar, and the current conversation turns blue.
- The user can then use the up and down arrow keys to select conversations from the list continuously, and when theright arrowkey is pressed, the focus switches to the input box of the corresponding conversation.
