Comment (by jonas.kirilla):

 Replying to [comment:3 diver]:
 > When I use keyboard to navigate and open some file on the desktop (e.g.
 in StyledEdit) and then close it's window via alt+w that file is still
 selected (has black background) but I'm not able to open it anymore using
 enter key, nor can I select other icons using arrow keys. Looks like some
 other application is stealing focus or Tracker looses it itself. I think
 it works only when ffm is turned on.

 What you're seeing is a result of two things. 1. Deskbar receives focus
 when you close StyleEdit. (If there are no other non-desktop windows
 around.) You can verify that Deskbar has focus by pressing e.g. Alt-
 Escape. And 2. the desktop does not color the icon labels gray when it
 loses focus, as do the other Tracker windows. They stay black.

 FFM likely mitigates this if the pointer often ends up on the desktop, in
 your usage pattern.
