I'm pretty sure this isn't true. The initial layout, without any persistence, will always be perfectly split.

There must be something else, investigating. cc @sandy081

Yep steps:

• Have two repositories open, from two open folders
• Collapse the second one
• Remove the second folder from the workspace
• Add it again

@isidorn This will happen to all views extending from @sandy081 's base class, so explorer, debug, etc.

@joaomoreno When you add it back what is the initial size? Guessing there is no initial size and default size was taken

I still see this in the latest.
Whenver I add a new folder to a workspace it's git view is the minimal size, not equal. I would not expact that -> reopening

Sorry but I have to reopen this, it is still not behaving like it should.
Once a split view to git is added the size should be split between them, however the current way random views get minimized (even though they had a good size before a new view is added).

Tried out with latest insiders which contains your fix.

Starting from none and then adding Git repos to subfolders of a single workspace folder still gets out of balance at 3:

And then more (never changing the size manually):

Reopening for consideration. Not critical for the release from what I see.

That's ok.

1. code-insiders --user-data-dir SOME_NEW_PATH
2. Open some folder in code, like vscode, open the git view, close vscode
3. Start code-insders again as in step 1., add a second folder to your workspace
4. Notice that the second folder is minimized in the git view

I would expect them to be the same size in 4.

IMHO the issue comes from the fact that when closing vscode in step 2 you remember that the first folder has the maximum size of the pane and that leads to the fact that in 4 it pushed out the second folder.
Not that important, removing milestone

Fixed in master. Initial sizes are now completely different. If you multi select in the provider list, the entire space will be split among all views.

We no longer use split views for git -> verified

@isidorn I think we use split views for git especially in a Multi root workspace when you select multiple repositories

@sandy081 thanks for letting me know. Though now whenever I select an additonal repo the space is always evenly split between them -> verified
