Hi Fernando – I did resolve it. In that this anomaly is controlled by the WP core, I’ll address it with them. The behavior is contrary to what I would consider solid UI fundamentals. Anytime a user can click on something, especially inadvertently, and lose visibility in the expected panel is not a good thing.
Though I’m relatively new to the GP/GB ecosystem, I really do like it a lot. I understand the platform is evolving and there are dependencies on WP as the core environment.
I do appreciate your time in helping me discover and solve the issue.
