"Manage Author" from book details panel doesn't jump to author

[ownedbycats]

Calibre 4.18 (x64), Windows 10.

In the Tag Browser, right-clicking on a specific author and clicking "Manage Authors" will jump to their name in the Manage Authors window.

However, right-clicking on an author name in the book details pane and clicking "Manage [Author Name]" doesn't have the same behaviour.

Thanks for making Calibre!

Works fine for me. What I tried:
1) Select an existing book.
2) Press E to Edit Metadata (single)
3) Click the "Manage Authors" box

The manage authors dialog opens with the first author's sort field selected.

What are you doing differently from above? In particular, are you trying to open the dialog for an author that has never been saved to the database?

I was referring to the Book Details pane (Show Book Details, default hotkey I, or the toggleable details pane). Sorry if I was unclear.

When I right-click an author in the details pane and open it, instead of selecting the author's sort field it instead has focus on the Search box.

Sorry about the spam. I didn't know (or forgot) that you could get to manage authors from book details.
