Thunar automatically selects another file when file edition is done.

Hello!

I noticed a bug in Thunar this morning. Reproduce it with following steps:

  1. I open a folder in Thunar.
  2. I open some "libre office" file in this folder (standard double-click).
  3. When I close my file, thunar automatically selects another file in the folder (the first file by the way).

I have a clue: It seems to appear only with files that creates a temporary file while editing (libre office, gvim...). For instance, I don't encounter this bug when opening a pdf file.

Kind Regards
