--- Comment #3 from Andre Miranda <andreldm at xfce.org> ---
An straightforward way to fix this is to not allow the tree view pane to steal
file view's focus. It's fairly easy to preview this behavior:
- pkill -i thunar
- GTK_DEBUG=interactive thunar
- Select the ThunarTreeView, on its properties set can-focus to FALSE

It will be an one-liner fix, but I wonder if other users will complain about
not being able to navigate on the side pane with the keys anymore.

Also, I think it's not easy to make select by hover work without focus, you
see, Thunar uses ExoIconView and ExoTreeView, but explicitly check the widget's
focus:
