As above. When I close GDevelop it does not remember what tabs I have open for next time, and opens many more than I had before. It does seem to include the one I left open, though. I think this happened a while ago and was resolved. It’s back.

In 99% of my projects i have only 2 tabs open and i have only one project where i have more than 2 open and i never seen it happen Can you reproduce with new project?

It happens with all projects, including new empty ones. Edit: after opening a few old projects, and making a new empty one, and then going back to my main project: tabs are working as normal between sessions. Weird.

I appreciate your help on this. I close tabs from their individual close buttons along the top of the screen (there are other ways?!). Typically, I’ll be working on one scene and close another without making it the active tab first. I have been successfully using tabs for several years now …
