Issues with 'CtrlInventory' & following container focus

[wockyslushDOTjpg]

Hello! First and foremost, I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to the development of this project. As the title suggests, I've been experiencing issues with the 'CtrlInventory' node, specifically that when used as a list of items with a 'ScrollContainer' for a parent, the list's scrollbar fails to follow the focus of the selected item. I have 'Follow_Focus' enabled via the 'ScrollContainer' as well, and the issue still persists.

Once I noticed 'Follow_Focus' was not working as intended, I tried manipulating the scrollbar in question via code, but that did not solve the issue I was having either, although I'm not particularly skilled with Godot just yet so I'm not 100% confident that this is purley an issue with GLoot. But I am at a complete loss at this point, and if anyone knows of a potential solution, I would appreciate it so so much!

P.S., It is also worth mentioning that when I click on the first item in the items list with my mouse, the scrollbar defaults to the very bottom of the list, instead of staying at the top, where the focused item is. I have no idea why; there is no code I have written that could be causing this. All I have scripted is functionality for the GUI containers, so that the current tab visible changes depending on whichever tab has been pressed, via the 'TabContainer'. If you have any questions that could help lead to resolving this issue, please feel free to ask and I will answer to the best of my abilities. Thank you!

Edit: I forgot to mention, I am currently using Godot 4.4.1 and GLoot 3.0.1

After spending more time using GLoot, it appears that the main issue I'm facing is that the plugin's code is built around mouse inputs rather than key inputs. I noticed this issue a while back, but I haven't tried working around it yet; once I do, I'll post the code I manage to patch together for anyone else who needs it.

Edit: For the issue of the Items List loading in at the bottom after clicking the ItemsTab a second time, I simply manipulated where the scrollbar should be via code:

@onready var items_scroll_bar = %ScrollContainer.get_v_scroll_bar(),

func _on_items_tab_pressed() -> void:
items_scroll_bar.value = 0.0

I still haven't figured out how to get the scrollbar to follow focus while navigating the item menu with key inputs though ☠️

I'm not 100% sure I understand the complete scene setup, but CtrlInventory is basically just an ItemList with some extra features and the focus is not really being manipulated by the GLoot code at all.
Does the same issue happen if you replace your CtrlInventory with an ItemList?

P.S - Do you even need a ScrollContainer in this case? I mean, ItemList already scrolls to the focused item on its own and has its own scrollbar that turns visible when there's too many items in the list.

Thanks for the response! Yes, when I edit my scene to use an ItemList instead of CtrlInventory, the ItemList node scrolls and follows focus without issue, which is apart of why I had a ScrollContainer node as a parent to CtrlInventory--I thought that maybe it would solve the issue I was having.

I actually ended up connecting the ScrollContainer's scroll bar to CtrlInventory via some janky code, which worked as intended, but after trying to recreate the issue I was having so that I could explain why I did what I did to you, I realized that I had auto_height ticked for CtrlInventory this whole time ☠️ So the crux of the issue was that I was just using the wrong scroll bar...

Embarassing stuff, but at the very least I'm learning, lol. And anyone else experiencing the same "issue" can save themselves some time, right? Now I just need to figure out how to get the scroll bar to sit on the right side of the list instead of the left.

Thank you again!
