This happens all the time. If I open a freecad file, and then go into macro editor or drawing mode,
the view of the opened freecad file stays on the screen. It only goes away when I close the freecad file which is time-consuming if i want to go back at it again.
what should I do to prevent this?
Other open freecad files are blocking my macro and drawing workspace

Hi @NewbieSimulator.
This is a known issue on macOS and it was resolved only recently. FreeCAD 0.17 development release is needed to be build against Qt 5 for the issue to be resolved. Luckily such builds for macOS are available here:
