Class tab: expanded objects collapse unexpectedly

[danielrcollins1]

The Class tab is a handy way of keeping track visually of available objects in the current program scope. I use this frequently in the courses I teach so beginner students can keep an eye on what's available. For example, I like to keep Class definitions expanded so all the members are in sight.

Unfortunately, this expanded-view frequently collapses itself and then I need to go re-expand it every time. Two notable examples:

• Any time the file is saved.
• Any time a context help list pops up.

Here's an example of the latter case. I'm working on a program with an expanded class visible on the left.

But as soon as I go to use the instantiated object, typing "box.", the context helper pops up and the expanded class view collapses at that moment. I'll need to go re-expand it right after.

It would be better if expanded items in the Class panel stayed expanded after a file save, context popup, etc.
