Windows Vista - Copy | Confirm File Overwrite - Looses Focus

In Windows Vista, during a Copy operation, if an overwite condition exists (Confirm File Overwrite), window focus is lost - regardless of any options chosen (Yes All Skip Skip_All Cancel).

This does not occur in Windows XP - focus is retained.

I've just tried to roproduce the problem on final Windows Vista (build 6000) with SS2.5 RC2 and Salamander did not loose it's focus.

Can you test your problem on final version of Windows Vista?

No unfortunately I do not have access to Vista 6000.

Confirmed!

I've just lost focus using Delete command.
Steps to reproduce:
0) IMPORTANT: You have to have some Always on top program running (Task Manager or second instance of Salamander can do this) - this program can be minimized
1) Make a hidden file (to invoke the Confirm File Delete dialog)
2) Try to delete the file and confirm the first Confirm Delete dialog
3) Delete operation starts and then immediately pauses asking about the hidden file
4) Pressing any button on the Confirm File Delete dialog looses Salamander's focus...

Tested on real machine with final version of Windows Vista.
