[I] Floating subfolders pane?

[koro-xx]

Please paste the text from the issue assistant here. It should be#### Expected behaviour

I have a workspace where I have only my notes list and the edit pane. But periodically, the "subfolders" pane appears on top of the notes list. If I remove it, eventually when I minimize the app to the tray, the "subfolders" pane shows up as a floating window and I have to manually close. After that, from time to time the pane keeps showing up on top of the main window (I'll add a picture). I don't think this is expected. What's expected is no floating windows showing up at random times.

Actual behaviour

Floating "subfolders" window keeps showing up at random times. Especially when I restart the app.

Steps to reproduce

I'm unsure how to reproduce it in an isolated way. In my setting, create a workspace with only the notes and edit panes, and eventually this will happen. It is in windows 10, with the latest version.

Have you maybe dragged the panel out of its layout by accident?

Best press this button and drag it back where you want to have it:

[koro-xx]

Nope, I've done that several times. I want that panel gone, and what I do is close it and save the workspace. But it keeps showing up as a floating panel whenever I restart the app (additionally, the window position behaves erratically: I position the qownnotes window in the right half of the screen, but after closing to tray and opening again it moves towards the bottom-right (leaving part of the window out). I don't know if this is part of the same issue....

[pbek]

Did you try disabling it in the Window/Panels menu?

[koro-xx]

Sorry for the delay. Disabling it in the menu did work, thanks. I was expecting that closing it manually would get rid of it in the same way (wouldn't that be reasonable expected behavior?)
