Description Sabrina Jewson 2025-02-10 20:43:19 UTC 
SUMMARY

Window.showView does not do anything.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open two documents in Krita, open the scripter and paste this code in:
    w=Krita.instance().activeWindow()
    print(len(w.views())) # prints 2
    w.showView(w.views()[0])
2. Press “run” and nothing happens. Replace the 0 with a 1 and try again – still nothing happens.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

The current tab is changed.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Qt Version: 5.15.11
Comment 1 Sabrina Jewson 2025-02-10 20:44:52 UTC 
This is low-priority because a helpful user on the forum (https://krita-artists.org/t/possible-bug-showview-does-not-appear-to-work/114827) pointed out that View.setVisible still works for the same effect.
