Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Description of the Issue

See Community discussion here: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/26799/two-buffer-activated-notifications-instead-of-just-one

Steps To Reproduce

1. have 2 tabs open in each view
2. in the inactive view, click on the inactive tab

Current Behavior

Two of these notifications occur: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/plugin-communication/#1010nppn_bufferactivated

The first one is for the tab currently active in the initially inactive view, the second one is for the tab being made active in that same view.

Expected Behavior

Only one notification should occur.

Anything else?

No response

Reproduce the two-view, two-tab scenario and trace handling of the NPPN_BUFFERACTIVATED notification described in the issue and linked plugin-communication documentation. Confirm that activating a tab in the inactive view emits only one notification, then verify the behavior with the same reproduction steps.
