Research direction

Reproduce the behavior on Linux with Processing 4.5.2 by opening the welcome window and one sketch, then closing the editor. Trace the PDE window-close behavior and verify that closing the sketch editor leaves the welcome window open while closing the welcome window leaves the sketch open.
