Description
Version and Platform (required):
- Binary Ninja Version: 3.0.3247-dev
- OS: macOS
- OS Version: 10.15.7
Bug Description:
When you split the view, and change one side to the Raw view, it will remember the sidebar state separately from the analyzed view, and switch it on/off when you change focus panes. This might be a neat desired feature, but the current behavior seems buggy.
Steps To Reproduce:
Please provide all steps required to reproduce the behavior:
- Open any executable
- Split panes
- In the second pane, switch the view to Raw
- Close the sidebar in the second pane
- Click back to the first pane
- Observe sidebar reappears
- Click back to second pane
- Observe sidebar disappears
Expected Behavior:
I expected the sidebar to not move when switching panes.
Additional Information:
As a side fun trick, you can set the sidebar to Symbols in the analyzed view, and something else in the raw view, and it will switch back and forth between them. Also, if you have a raw view selected and switch sidebars a lot, sometimes it will refocus the analyzed view.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on macOS using the eight listed steps, comparing sidebar state and focus while switching between analyzed and Raw views in split panes. Trace the split-view and sidebar state handling in the desktop UI; done means switching panes no longer changes or refocuses the sidebar unexpectedly.
