Description

As you can see in the image below I have two scripts opened and I'm working on them contemporarily. They belong to two different boards respectively. When I switch between them the IDE tries to update the port and the board but without success. In fact, in the Tools panel the preview shows something different from what is actually selected.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by opening two scripts associated with different boards, switching between them, and comparing the Tools panel preview with the selected board and port. Done means switching scripts updates both the board and port correctly and the preview matches the actual selections.
