Generating values in Other View #20

When having two files opened side-by-side (with the Other View function), random values are always generated in the left panel file, even though the cursor is on the right panel file.

Thanks for posting the issue, you're right this is a bug. It even seems to overwrite the active file on the left-side panel 😐I checked it out and I can reproduce it like this:

  1. open two text files
  2. move one file to right panel (View -> Move/Clone current document -> Move to other view)
  3. set cursor in file on left-side panel
  4. run menu item Plugins > Random Values -> Generate random values
  5. observe that new tab called "New 1" appears on left with generated random values
  6. set cursor in file on right-side panel
  7. again run menu item, same as point 4
  8. BUG: new tab called "New 1" appears on right but the active file on left is overwritten with generated random values

I'll have to look in to this when I have the time.
