How to disable auto active document switching?

Post by Vasten »

I and a friend often have the problem of performing action causes a page jump

>>> # App.setActiveDocument("x")
>>> # App.ActiveDocument=App.getDocument("x")
>>> # Gui.ActiveDocument=Gui.getDocument("x")

Away from the doc I'm working on and into some other doc for seemingly no reason.. how do i disable this auto page skip?

I can see the commands in my python window.. but they have o reason to be running.. at least nothing I'm doing.

eg..
i am in doc A
but every time i open a tool it jumps to doc B
the tool is opened on doc A, not doc B
but i have to switch back to the doc A every single time I do something

Can I just disable this auto document switch?
I don‘t have time to play around with "what is causing this.. I just want it to stop deciding itself what doc I'm looking at"

Moved to Link branch.
Hard to tell without a clear process to reproduce.
May that be Std TreeSyncView :?:

Please check the master version if it does the same.

There is an option where the 3d view of an object will be activated when selecting it in the tree view. You can disable it by unchecking "Sync view" (shortcut is T, 1).
