Title

Dangerous behavior: File deletion affects selected files in inactive tabs

Platform

Website - Firefox

Server Installation Method

Docker

Version

2.3.2

Troubleshooting

The Problem

When multiple tabs are open in the file explorer and files are selected in different tabs, pressing "Delete" in the active tab prompts the deletion of all selected files across all tabs (including inactive ones).

This is a serious usability issue and highly dangerous. I recently lost my authorized_keys file because of this. I did not expect files in background tabs to be affected, so I did not read the confirmation prompt carefully.

How to Reproduce

  1. Open 2 or more tabs with the file explorer.
  2. Select a file in each tab.
  3. press del
