Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Run through the “15 minutes to QCoDeS tutorial” up to [27]
  2. Click both Snapshot buttons
  3. Click the left snapshot tab
  4. Click the Close Snapshot button
Expected behaviour

The tab closes, leaving behind the second tab created (the second one clicked)

Actual behaviour

The second tab closes, leaving behind an empty “ghost” tab for the first one clicked that cannot be closed (because the tab is now empty)

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by following the “15 minutes to QCoDeS tutorial” through step 27 and using both Snapshot buttons. Start at the Experiment widget’s snapshot-tab handling and compare the selected tab with the tab closed by Close Snapshot. Done means closing the left tab removes that tab and leaves the second snapshot tab usable, without an empty ghost tab.
