Version: FreeCommander XE 2014 Build 671 donor
OS: Windows 7 SP1 32bit
Description:
Double click in emtpy space of tab-bar to create a new tab closes one or more other open tabs.
Often only the two leftmost open tabs "survive" left to the new one.
Seems to be forced when double click for new tab is performed for the other than the currently active side.
Error appeared repeatedly after update from build 666 to 671.
Same behaviour with default settings and without plugins.
Hope this is enough information to locate the problem.

671:Tabs closed when new tab created with double click
Re: 671:Tabs closed when new tab created with double click
Confirmed in FC XE 671 (Windows XP SP3)
But it's not easy to reproduce problem.
I tried different variations and could not find the problem. But after some time I found it!
Steps to reproduce:
1. In active panel there are 4 tabs with any content
2. In inactive panel there are 2 tabs with any content
3. Try to create 3-rd tab with double click in inactive panel. You'll see that it doesn't appear and the 2-nd tab in inactive panel was closed.

Re: 671:Tabs closed when new tab created with double click
o.k., I had time this evening and did some further investigation for that tricky behavior.
I cannot confirm for 667 and older versions.
I can confirm for 668 and younger.
Step 5: double click the inactive panel close to the last tab. if you watch carefully you'll see the tab with will grow due the bold text. so the second click won't be recognized as double click but it will hit the close button on the last tab - that's it I suppose.
I hope my findings will help a bit when repairing things.
by the way, I switched off 'Bold active Tab' long time ago because I don't like the tabs changing size.
IMHO there is a scaling bug going on - as not bolded tabs are changing their size too

Re: 671:Tabs closed when new tab created with double click
Still present for me in 672. But there are some nuances.
Steps to reproduce:
1. In active panel there are 4 tabs (in all tabs is opened C:\5 folder (folder name should be as short as possible))
2. In inactive panel there are 2 tabs (in all tabs is opened Local disk (C:))
3. Try to create 3-rd tab with double click in inactive panel (about 2-4 millimeters from inactive tab - while tab grow you click exact on tab close). 2-nd tab in inactive panel was closed.

Re: 671:Tabs closed when new tab created with double click
Your scenario is true if "Show close buton on active tab" is on. Unfortunatelly in that case I get no "DoubleClick" message from Windows so your DoubleClick is for me as two single clicks.Still present for me in 672. But there are some nuances.

Still present for me with build 672.
