    I'm sure this got fixed, but returned recently... I can't believe someone in the Win11 dev team isn't going crazy about this. It's particularly annoying and counter-productive, and quite a flow disruptor.

    Hi Sathyaramanan,

    I face the same issue.

    Let's say I have 5 tabs open in Windows File Explorer.

    I go to the address bar on Tab 1 and click on it so that I can copy the file address.

    The address bar drops down to let me copy the address. Let's call this the "Drop-down" phase.

    After I copy the address, I paste it where I need it.

    Now when I go to Tab 2 or any of the other tabs, they are all in "Drop-down" phase.

    In order to use a Tab, I have to click on the address bar twice in order to remove it from "Drop-down" phase.

    Edition: Windows 11 Pro

    Version: 23H2

    OS Build: 22631.3447

    11th Gen Core i3-1115G4 processor
