Interaction Bar changes after switching main windows/view


brianmk

When viewing a PCB file in the main window, The Interaction Bar contains 3 different tabs/windows: 'Layers', 'GoTo', 'Add Component'.

Suppose I have, for example, 'Layers' active in the Interaction Bar.

If I switch the main window to view, for example. the schematic file, the Interaction Bar options change: The 'Layers' tab is replaced by to a new tab - 'Component Bin'. This tab becomes active.

When I switch back to view the PCB file, I find the Interaction Bar tab selection has now changed and  'GoTo' is now the active selection.

The same problem arises if you switch to 3D view and then back to the PCB.

This is another annoying feature. It means having to reselect 'Layers' in the Interaction Bar every time I go back to viewing the PCB file.

It would be far more sensible if the tab that was last active is restored.
