Research direction

Reproduce the regression in ILSpy 11.1.0.9782 by selecting a property in the left Assemblies pane and pressing Ctrl-R, then inspect the shortcut and Analyze context-menu handling. Done means Ctrl-R analyzes the selected item instead of only focusing the Analyze pane, matching the previous version.

Description

Bug

ILSpy version 11.1.0.9782+a6909b2e1062d2404a52711926fa74030bd96119
Bug #2686 from 2022 is back.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Select an item like a property in the left pane (Assemblies)
  2. Press Ctrl-R
  3. The Analyze pane gets focused, but the selected item doesn't get analyzed.
Expected result

The context menu for the item shows "Analyze Ctrl-R" so one would expect that shortcut to actually analyze the item.

Regression

Ctrl-R worked fine in previous version of ILSpy
