Search bar opens when clicking on open file / Can't keep open multiple files

Steps to Reproduce:

2. Click on file on the top bar
3. Search bar will open (see picture)
4. Open other file
5. Previous file won't stay open but is in OPEN EDITORS

Selecting keep open on the file does not keep the tab open

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Sorry, I don't understand, can you explain more what you mean by

Previous file won't stay open

[Martin-Karsten]

I will try to explain.
It seems like there are 2 issues at once.
As you can see on the picture a file called Settings is open. When i click on this file (where the arrow points in the image) the search bar opens. When i double click on it or select leave open this file (or tab) does not stay open. When i click on another file in the sidebar this other file opens instead.
Let's say i have another file called index.js. I click on index.js to open it, the Settings file (tab) will close. Settings should stay open but now instead index.js opens and Setting closes. And now when i click on index.js (like with Settigns before) the search bar opens.

Is your issue just that you can't see the Settings tab after opening index.js? Maybe you disabled tabs by mistake then? Check the setting "workbench.editor.showTabs"

[Martin-Karsten]

You are right. For some reason "workbench.editor.showTabs" was set to false. I don't know how that happened. Sorry to bother you with such a simple problem. I will close this issue. Thanks a lot.
