Scenario where TabSession cannot be closed

(1/2) > >>

Lob:
If Multi Commander is closed while a TabSession is open, the TabSession re-opens on startup (which is fine). Unfortunately, after doing so, "File > Tab Sessions > Close Current TabSession" has the effect of re-loading that same tab session (I'd imagine because it's loading the auto-saved session information from when the program was last closed).

As far as I can tell, this makes it (nearly) impossible to get back into a state outside of tab sessions, which also prevents the most recent tab layout from being dynamically saved and re-opened upon program start.

The only workaround I've found once in this state is to delete all saved TabSessions. To avoid this state, I must always remember to use "File > Tab Sessions > Close Current TabSession" before exiting. I'd imagine that disabling the save on exit setting would prevent this behavior, but I'd like to keep that setting enabled.

I'm currently running MultiCommander v9.6.1 (Build 2582) (64 bit).

Lob:
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Here are the steps I'm using to reproduce the issue (now using version 9.7):

* Open some tabs
* File > Tab Sessions > Save As... > test > OK
* File > Tab Sessions > Session #1 : test
* Close and reopen Multi Commander (TabSession test is loaded automatically)
* File > Tab Sessions > Close Current TabSession (TabSession does not close)

Lob:
Bump.

AlanJB:
By default MC will open the previous tab session layout.

What settings do you have under Configuration > Core Settings > Startup?

Configuration > Core Settings > Startup:
Autoload last used tab session
"Start minimized" is unchecked

Starting up with the last used tab session behaves as expected; the problem is when I then choose "File > Tab Sessions > Close Current TabSession", the tabsession does not close (bug #1).

This also prevents me from recovering previously remembered tabs that were not saved as part of any session (bug #2) - (I think this might be "Configuration > Explorer Panel settings > Display Save on exit", which I have checked and my tabs are usually remembered).

Do you also get the same behaviors?
