Description Jack Hill 2023-01-23 14:32:00 UTC
SUMMARY
I don't use the split view often, but when I do I only enable it temporarily. Because of this, I see the left pane as the "fixed" pane and the right pane as the "temporary" pane. This is because the animation shows a new pane appearing from the right. I always get tripped up because I expect the Close button to close the "temporary" pane. Currently, the pane that actually gets closed is dependent on which pane is active.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a split view
2. Click the right-hand pane
3. Close the split view

4. Open a split view
5. Click the left-hand pane
6. Close the split view

OBSERVED RESULT
First the left-hand pane disappears, and then the right-hand pane disappears (depending on Dolphin's current settings).

EXPECTED RESULT
If a settings option such as "Turning off split view closes right-hand pane" existed, then I would expect the right-hand pane to always disappear.

For context, currently we have a setting to determine which pane to close, the active (aka selected) one or the not activated one.
