Thanks for opening an issue for this, @johnyf. I don't use the Symbols-Tree-View package myself so I'm not sure I understand the problem completely. Could you record a GIF which clearly demonstrates the problematic behavior, e.g. using this tool?
Also, I probably won't have time to work on this myself, but if you or someone wants to add such a view Symbols-Tree-View to this package -- I'd be happy to consider it and review the pull request. 👍
When one changes focus to the PDF pane and tab, the Symbols-Tree-View becomes invisible, thus shifting the tabs a little. Returning focus to the tab containing source code (suppose the PDF and source are side-by-side panes) brings back the Symbols-Tree-View, which shifts the window layout back again.
This shifting back and forth is fine once or twice, but its presence the entire day (week etc.) when writing a text becomes tiring, and makes the source move on the screen (so keeping track of some point on the source becomes more difficult).
I tend to hide the Symbols-Tree-View, in order to avoid this issue. However, sometimes one wants to have it visible. If the PDF viewer had a Symbols-Tree-View (say, for the contents, or even blank), then this issue wouldn't arise.
