Mouse pointer jumps to "default" element when clicking to another tab #4840

Hello On Windows 8.1 (64-bit) I notice in Bitcoin Core 0.9.2.1 the following behaviour which is not helpful: When I click onto the Tab "Send", the mouse pointer jumps to the (default) CmdButton 'Send'. When I click onto the Tab "Receive" the mouse pointer jumps to the (not default but disabled) CmdButton 'Show'. When I click on "Overview" (coming from "Send") it jumps to some empty space where there could be a CommandButton but isn't. All works well when I click on "Transactions". All works well when I click on "Receive", but coming from "Transactions"

This is a bit annoying and surely a very little bug in the design view. thank frank

As that's awfully annoying we don't have any code in Bitcoin-Qt to move the mouse pointer.

Are you sure you don't have some kind of 'helper' extension installed that introduces this behavior?

That means that you cannot reproduce it under Windows 8.1 (64-bit)? I have not installed any extension for Bitcoin Core, I didn't even know there are some.

This means that the cause is somewhere in QT?

I don't have any windows machines to test on. But you are the first to report this, so that's why I suspect something non-standard. There are no extensions for Bitcoin-Qt, but maybe for windows. Possbily @diapolo knows.

According to IRC:

<TheSeven> windows itself has such a "feature"
<TheSeven> you can enable it somewhere in the mouse settings
<TheSeven> if something opens a dialog, the cursor will automatically jump to the default button of that dialog
<TheSeven> IIUC that user has thar weird feature enabled, and is just complaining that it's somehow picking the wrong buttons to jump to

@laanwj Yeah there IS such a feature in the mouse settings, which forces jumping onto default buttons when opening dialogs. I don't suffer from what is described here.

Yes, indeed! This I have enabled in the mouse settings. But with all applications I know and ever used, never this jumps to a even not visible Button when I click on another tab. So I guess as no developer ever used this windows mouse feature, no one ever noticed that there is maybe some weird default-settings in the Buttons. Or I have to address this to QT?

By the way, yes, this doesn't jump if I disable it in Windows Mouse settings. But I like this feature, I use it. It lessens the mouse miles to move.

I created a small patch which perhaps helps, see #4853.
