Description

Is there an existing issue for this?
  • I have searched the existing issues
Current behavior

When switching layouts on the issues page (List, Table, Kanban etc..) the selected layout is correctly applied. However, if the user clicks outside the browser window (switches apps, clicks on the desktop) the layout resets back to the default.
This happens without navigating away and without refreshing. Losing window focus will trigger the reset.

Expectation:
The selected layout should remain active until the user explicitly changes it or navigates to a different view. Clicking outside the window should not modify the layout state.

Steps to reproduce
  • Open any Issues view (List, Table, Kanban, etc.).
  • Change the layout using the layout selector in the header.
  • Click anywhere outside the browser window (e.g., desktop, another app).
  • Return to the browser.
  • Observe that the layout has reset to the default.
