Merged into main, core-9-0-branch, and core-8-6-branch by commits [c487406d], [01bf2744], and [7de1b478]. serhiy.storchaka added on 2026-09-18 19:03:28: Same cause as [adb71ed70b], fixed in branch [d8d65f6671]. fvogel added on 2019-12-21 15:34:23: This problem was reported again, see [adb71ed70b]. Note: as per analysis in that bug report, adding `focus -force .e` works.
