Hello,

We see some inconsistent behaviour when alt-clicking the different tabs in the character sheets. We also found that the behaviour changes depending on how you check the boxes in "control optional tab visibility". I tried to document the different outcomes below.


Behaviour when alt-clicking the different tabs on the character sheet organised after how "control optional tab visibility" is checked

Nothing checked in "Control optional tab visibility"

- Abilities tab doesn't open in new window (it opens on the sheet)
- Inventory tab doesn't open in new window (it opens on the sheet)
- Activities tab open Special tab in new window
- Actions tab opens Activities tab in new window

Tab: Favourites checked in "Control optional tab visibility"
- Abilities tab doesn't open in new window (it opens on the sheet)
- Inventory tab doesn't open in new window (it opens on the sheet)
- Activities tab open Special tab in new window
- Favourites tab opens Activities in new window
- Actions tab opens Actions tab in new window

Tab: Special checked in "Control optional tab visibility"
- Abilities tab doesn't open in new window (it opens on the sheet)
- Inventory tab doesn't open in new window (it opens on the sheet)
- Special tab opens Special in new window
- Activities opens Activities in new window
- Actions opens Actions in new window

Both optional tabs checked in "Control optional tab visibility"
- Abilities tab doesn't open in new window (it opens on the sheet)
- Inventory tab doesn't open in new window (it opens on the sheet)
- Special opens Special tab in new window
- Activities opens Activities in new window
- Favourites opens Actions in new window
- Actions tab doesn't open in new window (it opens on the sheet)


For tabs Main, Combat, Skills and Notes I didn't come across any problems.

The Abilities and Inventory tabs are specifically designed not to open a second window as this resulted in double automation being applied/removed when new records were added to these tabs if both the PC sheet and the floating sheet were open at the same time.

I'll investigate the other issues of the incorrect tabs opening (or not opening). I'm pretty sure I know what the issue is. Thanks for letting us know about the issue.
