Description

  1. Open vital spear truncates orthogonally
  2. Wait until analysis finishes (after log [Default] Identifying EFI module type...)
  3. Observe dirty view state:
>>> bv.file.analysis_changed
True

You can see there is 14 undo actions in the undo history widget, also the [Default] Identifying EFI module type... log needs to be scoped to the view.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by opening vital spear truncates orthogonally and waiting for [Default] Identifying EFI module type.... Check bv.file.analysis_changed, the 14 undo actions in the undo history widget, and whether the log is scoped to the view. Done means EFI analysis leaves the initial view unmodified and the message is view-scoped.
