AdvisorThe focus feature in general is very useful for MSPs like others have mentioned. But its really only needed at the folder-level, or sometimes the resource-level.
The new UI has the focus feature available at the instance-level, device-datasource-level, etc. The new UI also auto-focuses on things which causes lots of confusion for our users which are brave enough to use UIv4. There's really no reason to have auto-focus enabled at all.
So my feedback would be to modify the focus feature to work like it does in the legacy UI. Remove the auto-focus ability completely as it only serves to cause confusion, and make the placement consistent like it is in the legacy UI.
Agreed. Instead of spending time trying to fix something that wasn't broken, how about home groups for resources for consistent breadcrumbing?

Or fix that annoying hover, wait, then click to get back to resources.
And you've now triggered me. I'll be hiding under my bed for the rest of the day.
