I have a Jpg file selected. I execute the Automation favorite shown.
The filter is deactivated as it should but the following
Goto Master command is not executed in this case.
(Both Master and Version were shown on the screen when this favorite was called!)

Maybe the focus was removed from the file window?
Did you try the usual things mentioned in the help, like adding a sleep, setting the focus to the File Window before running a File Window command (which of course can only work when the File Window has the focus).
I would not consider such issues a bug, more something you would ask in the General Discussion board, no?
What did you try before opening this bug report?
Also, keep heed of the notice in the Automation Help topic. Not everything will work.
I think this might be related to the problem I posted

What did you try so far? Did you read me comment?
Both "bug reports" you just posted seem to come from the same misunderstanding. Running keyboard shortcuts when the wrong window is active.
As to the problem in the other post you are right. I will reply there.
I tried adding a Go to M&F Folder.

Did not help.
I tried also to disable the filter instead with a KB shortcut Ctrl F6. This did not work either.
I also tried Activate File Window instead of Go to M&F View.
I can not get it to go to the Master.
If you run a keyboard shortcut that has to be processed by a File Window, make sure that the File Window is the active window.
Going to the Media & Folders View does not necessarily activate the File Window. Or not within the 2 milliseconds before the Automation Favorite sends the Goto Master command. The File Window may still be loaded at that time.
Add a short sleep after going to the M&F View.
Then activate the File Window (Action: Activate File Window).
Add another short sleep after to allow the File Window to do it's stuff.
Then run the Goto Master.
Using sleep when firing commands is a good practice.
