Changing to defect. It's feeling more and more like a defect. This is not simple unfortunately - Navigator now operates on explorer as well as editor, and virtually any view (TopComponent) can choose to provide content for Navigator. So it's relatively tricky to find a way how to define in which situations navigator should not follow focus and what to do if source document is closed, how to define what new content of navigator should be. However it's true that when helper views like you mentioned are focused, navigator should stick with its last non-empty content, that would be usability gain. Postponed to future relelase though, as this requires careful design and probably new API. Implemented when fixing 61334, closing this as duplicate. Now Navigator still shows last non-empty content when mentioned views are active. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 61334 *** |
