fix: resolve group activation and panel content visibility after tab header space drag (#991)
Fixes GitHub issue #991 where dragging tab header space (empty area) to different positions caused panel content to disappear and groups to become inactive. ## Changes **Core Fix (3 minimal changes):** - Fix panel activation logic to ensure first/active panels render correctly - Restore group activation for center case moves (root drop to edge zones) - Fix group activation for non-center moves using correct target group **Comprehensive Test Suite:** - Added 5 targeted tests validating the fix for various scenarios - Tests cover single/multi-panel groups, center/non-center moves, and skipSetActive - Ensures both panel content rendering and group activation work correctly ## Technical Details The root cause was in `moveGroup()` method where: 1. Panel content disappeared due to incorrect `skipSetActive: true` for all panels 2. Groups became inactive due to activation calls inside `movingLock()` 3. Non-center moves failed activation when source group was destroyed **Fixed in dockviewComponent.ts:** - `skipSetActive: panel \!== activePanel` - ensures active panel renders (line 2347) - `doSetGroupAndPanelActive(to)` - activates target group for center moves (line 2354) - `const targetGroup = to ?? from` - uses correct group for non-center activation (line 2485) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
