Steps to reproduce
- Create a canvas with some content and pin the canvas
- Open a regular file
- Open another file and while this one is open, so you should have the canvas and two other files in tabs
- Stack the tabs (arrow top right > stack tabs)
- Try to access the canvas - it selects (you can see the file on the left be selected) but it’s not possible to expand it. Other tabs expand and slide as they should, but not a canvas. There’s no way I’ve found to open it other than close all the other tabs, or turn off stacking.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide?
Yes, I checked the same behaviour happens in the sandbox vault. See screen recording below.
Expected result
I would expect that when I clicked on the canvas tab, the stack would slide open like the other content tabs do, so I can still see the canvas.
Actual result
You can’t expand to see the canvas once you’ve got other tabs that are open and hence it’s closed.
Environment
