    It still persists. I suffer from that bug for over a year now in my productivity environment. It is unbelievably disappointing that Microsoft seems to unable to fix such a very central bug in their software flagship, which becomes more and more hilarious though.

    It must be infuriating for this annoying bug, in one of the most basic functions of windows, to still be there after so much time. I'm new to W11 but can see this is going to be a long annoying ride. I HATE this problem, so frustrating.

    I have the similar problem. But it happened when I used a USB keyboard.

    I discovered that when I use my laptop keyboard to type something, the issue will be disappeared.

    It would be a workaround solution for me.

    Hope it may help for someone.

    I also have the same issue. This is very annoying.

    It seems that the focus goes back to where it was prior to the action I did.

    For example, if the focus was on the search field and I click on the copy icon, the focus goes back to the search field.

    It seems that the problem has finally been resolved in Windows 11 24H2 26100.1586

    Unfortunately, File Explorer always opens the Address Bar suddenly...
