Description

If the Quick tab on the FLIGHT screen is undocked, changing to another main tab (e.g. PLAN, SETUP, CONFIG) and back causes the undocked quick tab to white-out.

In order to view the undocked quick data again, the window must be closed, then you have to exit the FLIGHT tab, return, and re-undock the quick tab.

This means that it is not possible to properly use the QUICK tab undocked and use other tabs to setup or configure the system. This is especially annoying for multi-monitor setups where the operator might want to keep the quick tab data visible whilst adjusting parameters or updating a mission plan.

Research direction

Reproduce this on the FLIGHT screen by undocking the Quick tab, switching to PLAN, SETUP, or CONFIG, and returning to FLIGHT. Trace the Quick tab's window and display state across those tab changes; done means the undocked Quick data remains visible and usable without closing or re-undocking the window.
