Simple tab area moves down opening a view in BenchLayoutData [message #1865391]

Hello,

if I open a view programmatically within benchlayout of the desktop (in the east). Than any tab that opens (e. g. a form to create a new entry) - is moved down under the header instaed of the default position in the header). If I close the view, the tab returns to it's old position.

Is there any way to keep the position of the tab on the top?

Greetings & thanks!

Does nobody have a solution? Maybe my configuration of the desktop will help:
setBenchLayoutData(
new BenchLayoutData()
.withWest(new BenchColumnData().withInitial(1).withRelative(true).withGrow(0).withShrink(0))
.withCenter(new BenchColumnData().withInitial(1).withRelative(true).withGrow(0).withShrink(-1))
.withEast(new BenchColumnData().withInitial(500).withRelative(false).withGrow(0).withShrink(0)));

I open the new view on VIEW_ID_E. If I open the new view on VIEW_ID_CENTER, the layout remains as desired. It is the case that as soon as the view is opened int the VIEW_ID_E, the area of the desktop is reduced by the height of the header.

Hi,

this is expected behavior. I can explain the idea behind it: if you open a form in another area and that form has a tab, its tab area should be on the same level as the tab area on the center area. Your form on the right does not have a tab because it has no title and no icon, so I agree with you it is confusing that the tab area of the center tab box moves down.
There is not a property to disable that behavior. But it should be possible to adjust the behavior by overriding HeaderTabBoxController, as you have already tried according to your other post.
