Text also selected when using shift/alt click binds to hide or watch a thread in the catalog

Maybe forcing an unfocus of the currently active element from within the shift/alt click event would to the trick: document.activeElement.blur();

Can you try 2.19.0?

Nope, issue is still there. I'm on firefox 133.0.3

Works on my machine? The selection disappears when a thread is hidden.

You are selecting text before using the shift click bind. What is actually happening in my case is that by clicking on the top left corner of the catalog and registering that point as active focus element and then using the shift click bind on another element in the catalog, the text inside the two corners of the rectangle will be selected.

I found a possible workaround while playing on a fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/w61zfgsy/

Simply using e.preventDefault(); inside a mousedown event while shift is active is going to prevent the selection of any text. The only drawback is that you can't click and shift click inside the node to select text in two steps but considering the shift click bind was going to interfere anyway it's not a big deal (?)

el.onmousedown = (e) => {
    if (!e.shiftKey) return;
    e.preventDefault();
  }

I your video the selection disappears on the same frame the thread disappears. For me that is enough. Or do you want the blue flash to be completely gone?

It does indeed. Although it would be cleaner not having a selection blinking in the first place whenever you want to to hide a thread, the current fix is good enough
