Description
Type: Bug
Guys.
Open a vscode main window ( 10 files / 10 tabs ). Move some tabs ( tabs 5 - 10 ) into a second window.
On the bottom bar of the pc - we can see both windows open. Correct.
When i click on any tab ( say tab 3 ) in the first window - the file name on the 2nd window at the bottom of the bar does NOT change. The file name on the first window (at the bottom of the bar ) changes ( shows file name in tab 3 )
Both these baheviours is Correct.
However, when I click on any tab ( say tab5 - file xyz ) in the second window - the filename on the first window at the bottom of the bar changes ( shows file xyz ) !!! Never happened before. I have been using vscode for 2+ years now.
So both windows at the bottom now shows file xyz.
Sorry - If I am not using the correct name - bottom bar is called the taskbar, and the every open app creates a palceholder/button on the taskbar ?
