Keep project tree open when you click a source file with "auto hide" enabled

[RobertoBozzolo]

"Auto hide project tree" environment option works differently depending on which file you click in the project tree: ig you double-click a UIR file the file is oepned in the editor region and the project tree remains open; on the contrary, if you double-click source or include files the project tree closes immediately so that if you want to open more file you need to move the mouse on the leftmost side of the window to display the project tree again.

This is particularly annoying when working on laptops, that is when the auto-hide feature is more necessary because of the limited screen size of these machines (not considering the ugly feeling when using the laptop's touchpad instead of a regular mouse, but this is not a CVI problem )

I'd like to have the project tree remain open even when double-clicking a source file, until I move the cursor out of the tree area.

Roberto,

The current inconsistent behavior is a bug, which we're now tracking as bug # 361958. However, given that the expected behavior would have been for the project tree to always close, and you're asking for the opposite behavior, I'm leaving this idea exchange submission open, regardless of the related bug.

The underlying idea is that you may want to open more than one file at a time, so it's handy to have the project tree left open. If I only want to open one file I can simply move the mouse off that area to have the tree auto hide.
