List of doctors disappears after adding a patient

[zhoyx]

Steps to reproduce: Assumptions: there are some doctors already added

1. call the command lsp to list all patients
2. Add a new patient to the list add-ptn n/Man p/98765432 e/jdoe@gmail.com h/1.85 w/70.5 d/Fever st/Outpatient r/No known allergies t/pendingReview

Expected result:

• The patient would be added in the patients list and the list of doctors would still be present

Actual result:

• After calling the add patient command, The list of doctors disappear.
• This makes it very troublesome because lsd has to be called again everytime the user wants to add a new patient.

Team's Response

Our team acknowledges that this behaviour may seem weird when first starting Docedex. However, as we add more and more doctors/patients into Docedex, we want to give a prominent visual feedback upon the addition of a new patient/doctor. Therefore, this sudden disappearance of the sister list (e.g. doctors list in the case of adding a patient, and vice versa) was a design decision that the team decided to take after A/B testing amongst ourselves.

Nonetheless, we agree that it may cause some alarm, so we put many alerts of this behaviour throughout the User Guide.

Also, we added a planned enhancement in our developer guide to improve the clarity surrounding what the list panel is displaying at any point. A screenshot of that section has been attached here:

The 'Original' Bug

[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]

Adding patient clears the doctor display panel.

Environment: Windows 10 21H2, Java 11

Description: command add-ptn clears the doctors display area.

How to reproduce:

• Open the jar file via java -jar
• Execute clear
• Execute add-doc n/x p/123 e/a@b.cd s/e y/0
• Execute add-ptn n/x p/123 e/a@b.cd h/0.12 w/3 d/y st/Observation

Expected behavior: I can see both doctors and patients I added.

Observed behavior: I can only see the patients I added. I can't see the doctors I added until I run list-doc again.

Remarks: clearing the display panel seems unnecessary and can cause inconvenience.
