Description

Steps:

Open a vertical split pane, then a horizontal split pane in it, and then a vertical split pane in it, i.e. run the following sequence of commands:

vsplit
hsplit
vsplit

image

Then begin dragging the initial vertical divider (the one that is in the middle of the screen), to resize the initial split pane. As a result, one of the child split panes gets narrower and narrower, and eventually its width becomes zero, so that this pane becomes completely invisible and inaccessible by the user. And there is no way to make it accessible again (no way to make its width non-zero again).

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the terminal editor with the command sequence vsplit, hsplit, vsplit, then drag the initial vertical divider until a child pane disappears. Trace the split-pane resizing entry point and related layout handling; done means resizing cannot leave a child pane permanently invisible or inaccessible. No file or test path is named in the issue.
