Yes I am :) What you want is to always have certain features at the same place. Your way to guarantee this is: "if a feature gets hidden, make it appear where it was". This is the root of the behaviors that annoy me :) I truly believe there is a way to guarantee the same without the current unintuitive behavior (yes, unintuitiveness might subjective here, but I bet you a beer we'll get lots of complaints in our forum) I assume you are thinking about a context menu item "open in a new Tab", > right? > Yes.

Imagine you have Library in first right pane and AutoDj in the second left pane. Then you open a new tab on the second left pane (auto-dj tab gets hidden) and select another feature there. While auto-dj tab is hidden, no matter whatever you do, it remains there. And the only thing you have to do to bring it back where it was is to click its tab. That's the key point. It's similar to pin a pane, but since you have another tab on that pane you can reuse it. I think this covers your use case and fulfills your requirements. But it can done with "new feature is always open where focus is", which is mine :) Don't you agree?
