Pressing the space bar selects another layer

Ever since updating to 5.2 I noticed that everytime I use the layers docker -whether it be for changing layers or moving them- and then I press the space bar to pan my canvas, for some reason it selects the upermost layer that’s visible in the docker, kind of like when you press the space bar on a browser and it scrolls down. This caused me to draw on unwanted layers or even selecting locked or invisible layers, so I have to switch back to the previous layer every time I press the space bar after using the docker.

Edit: found out what made it happen. Sometimes I accidentally double click on a layer and press space to move around without realizing it renamed that layer, and now it seems like when you use the layer docker and type a key that a random layer has as its initial letter, it automatically moves to that layer. Eg: a layer has “Lineart” as its name, if you press L while using the docker, it will automatically switch to that layer, kind of like a search function.
That doesn’t happen if you have a shortcut tied to that key, unless it’s a shortcut used for canvas input, such as alternate invocations, panning and rotating

:smiling_face_with_three_hearts: 确实是这样的,我也遇到相同的问题。谢谢你的解决方案。
