Comment 1 Thomas Friedrichsmeier 2016-04-03 20:08:34 UTC
The problem is encountered much less frequently with the docked previews, now. However it still exists:
1. Create _any_ plot window (in fact any detached "document" window)
2. Open a plugin dialog (in fact any non-modal dialog)
3. Close window created in 1 -> Window created in 2 goes hiding.

Problem is most definitely that when closing an RKMDIWindow (scripts, plot, tool windows, but not dialogs), RKWard tries to activate the most suitable _RKMDIWindow_ (again, not dialog).

To be fixed in frameworks branch.
