Bug - Commander View Closes Tabs

This bug affects multiple open tabs in a lister window by closing all but one tab without the user's permission. This occurs when the lister is in Single mode going to Commander mode.

Steps To Reproduce:

  1. Open a new lister in Single mode.
  2. Open two tabs to any path.
  3. In the Style toolbar, select the Commander tab to open the Commander mode. You'll notice one of the tabs in the original window gets closed.

Expected Behavior:
Changing from Single mode to Commander mode keeps existing tabs open.

Actual Behavior:
Changing from Single mode to Commander mode closes all tabs except one.

This is not a bug, nor normal behaviour, but something in your configuration.

I linked my account. Now what do I do?

  • Go to Preferences / Layouts and Styles / Styles.
  • Double-click the Commander style.
  • In both the Left File Display and Right File Display tabs at the bottom, turn off:
    [ul][li]Tab Group[/li]
    [li]Close existing folder tabs[/li]
    [li]Folder[/li][/ul]

That fixed it. Thank you so much for helping me troubleshoot this issue.
