Description
Positron Version:
2024.05.0 (Universal) build 1323
Steps to reproduce the issue:
This is similar to #2032 but fortunately not quite as bad.
- Choose one of the new layout presets, such as "Side-by-Side Layout"
- Run "Developer: Reload Window"
That pesky bottom panel pops up:

I am guessing related to #2033
What did you expect to happen?
I expected my layout choice to persist through a window reload.
Were there any error messages in the output or Developer Tools console?
None that look related

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Positron 2024.05.0 using a layout preset, then run “Developer: Reload Window” and inspect the layout and panel-state handling. Compare the behavior with related issues #2032 and #2033; done means the selected layout persists without the bottom panel appearing unexpectedly after reload.
