krusader shows cursor carets on both panels

Older krusader tend to show the cursor (or caret) only on the active panel, that is, either left or right. However, currently Krusader shows the cursor both on the active panel and on the inactive panel.

This is extremely confusing since it is not visually clear at the first glance which panel is actually active. I'm developing a tick: I can't just press Enter to head to a folder, or a left arrow to head to the parent folder, since I don't know which panel will actually execute that command. Instead I just move the caret a bit until I'm sure I know which one is the active one, and only then I start to do file operations. This is annoying and slows down work with Krusader.

Another annoying issue is that the Delete dialog by default selects "cancel" so one can't simply press F8+Enter to confirm the deletion.
