Also experiencing this. If I click on a note listed in the File explorer, it will open in a new pane, splitting the ‘open a file’ tab vertically and loading the note in a pane on the right. I can’t get the ‘open a file’ tab to go away.

Yes the article for that one does work. However, I hope they solve it soon as it would stop new users to use the program if they don’t use forums or discord. Thanks for the support!

Ctrl + W should do the trick
