F5 reloading page in 3.5

[Richard Greenwood]

I use F5 to execute queries. In previous versions of pgAdmin4 if F5 was
going to reload the page a warning message allowed you to cancel the page
reload, and thus save your work, reduce (slightly) frustration, etc. But in
3.5 that seems to be gone. I'm running current Chrome in Ubuntu.

I also run it in Chrome/XFCE and this has been a bug since the beginning of
v4. I ended up simply remapping all actions based on F5. I use F7/F8 to run
plan/query.

I noticed that from time to time query edit box out of the blue loses focus
e.g. as I type SELECT <space> it stops typing and I discover that focus is
no longer on that input area. This may be related to F5 issue. When the
element that is supposed to listen to events is no longer receiving events
the keyboard keys it intercepts will be processed by the browser with its
default handlers.

This is just a speculation but it would explain both issues.

Loss of focus could be also caused by Chrome extensions, spellchecker, etc
though this never happened to me in e.g. gmail or google docs or any other
web app so I am inclined to think this is a pgadmin bug.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I had not considered that. I'm pretty old
but I might be able to retrain myself to F8.

I have few Chrome extensions installed. I will try to keep an eye on when
focus changes. I thought I was seeing a pattern of the F5 page reloading
after an erroneous query and then going back to the query pane to correct
the syntax, but it's not consistently reproducible.

Best regards,
Rich
