Tabs can get stuck in "pane purgatory"

Open jonpalmisc opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

  1. Open a new file
  2. Pin cross references OR pop out the mini graph
  3. Close all panes except for pinned cross references or mini graph

The UI is now in "pane purgatory". The tab remains open, but it is now impossible to open any new panes, and all of the sidebar panels refuse to display content because "X requires an open file".

Turns out if you double click one of the pinned cross references you can get a crash as well.

This still repros on latest 3.4 stable, including the crash (which is because the view is NULL).

Looks like this issue is improved in 4.0 but still not entirely fixed. We should just disable the 'X' button when the other pane is cross references.
