Link: Selected file loses focus after manual link creation

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Problem description

When I edit the "Linked Object" property of a Link, a popup window asks me to select the object to be linked.

If. this object is in another file. Selecting it changes the current view to this other file to show which object is being selected. This is good.

But after clicking Ok, or even Cancel, ESC or the (X) to dismiss the popup Freecad should return the view to the edited file. But this does not happen.

Neither action is bringing me back (automatically) to the file I am editing. Here is the Link popup.

Here a video to show this behavior.
