Description
It's possible to hide both the editor and preview panes through the _View_ menu. When hiding both one will still be visible and take up the entire window. Then when restoring the other that one will take up the entire window. The only way to restore both is to use one of the _Left x:x Right_ menu items.
This issue is very apparent when playing around with the toolbar(#282). How should the menu and toolbar items behave when only one pane is showing?
One idea would be that when only one pane is being shown then hiding that pane does nothing.

Start by reproducing the pane visibility problem through the View menu, then compare the related toolbar behavior mentioned in issue #282. Trace the menu and toolbar actions that control the editor and preview panes. Done should include a decided, consistent behavior when one or both panes are hidden, with the issue's restore scenarios handled.
