Post From: Unexpected Behavior of Hide Window Command

When using the Hide Window command, if you leave the current Chartbook that you hid the window in and switch to another Chartbook without having clicked on another window first to make it the active window instead of the one that was hidden, upon switching back to the chartbook with the hidden window, the hidden window will have reappeared. To make that a bit more clear and to replicate behavior: Have two chartbooks open with a couple charts in each In the first chartbook, select a chart and use the Hide Window command Without clicking anything else within that chartbook, select the other chartbook Now select the first chartbook where you hid the window The hidden window will have reappeared Now use the Hide Window command on it again This time, click on another chart in the chartbook that contains the hidden window before selecting the other chartbook Upon returning to the original chartbook with the hidden window, the hidden window will have remained hidden In the documentation (Window and CW Menus: Hide Window (Window)) it reads "When this command is selected, the active Chart window will be hidden. It will remain hidden even when the Chartbook it is contained in is reopened." Based on that, it seems a bit odd that user would have to select another window prior to switching chartbooks for the command to have the intended behavior.
