"Go to definition" opens a new tab (undesired behavior)

[ibobak]

Type: Bug

If I have a notebook open on the left side and a module on the right (and this is the layout which I would like to keep), and if I do "go to definition" in the notebook, it will open a new tab.

Thanks for the issue, but this isn't something that Pylance controls. VS code decides where the tab opens. We merely provide VS code with the URL of the file where the definition is. You'd have to ask VS code to provide a way to control where the tab opens.

Thank you. I will report a bug to VS Code then.

Of course it would be good if you could do this somehow automatically, so that we (the end users) wouldn't spend our time on that.
