[p4] P4V 2017.3 Address bar autoamtically tries to find path (Windows)

Posted on behalf of forum user 'hatters'.

Hi there,

I have recently updated to 2017.3 . I'm not sure of the previous version, I
have gone from red icon to blue icon  :)

Anyway, the behaviour of the address bar has changed - as soon as you paste a
depot/local view path in it will automatically try and find that location.
This is pretty irritating if you work across streams and paste locations from a
different stream (with the intent to edit it) as it immediately pops up a dialog
box stating the path cannot be found; made worse by the fact it doesn't
always re-focus back on the address bar after the dialog box is dismissed. The
warning dialog box can also appear whilst typing in the address bar, which is
even worse.

Also not helped by years of use where you had to press enter, so I paste some
paths in and automatically press enter, and end up opening whatever
file/directory I was trying to find.

I've had a look at the options and didn't see a way to revert this
behaviour - does anyone know if it is possible to revert?

Thanks,
