When opening a full-screen window such as the system map, ship tree or skills view, other collapsed windows are automatically unfolded. This unfolding occurs behind other windows that are stacked under the collapsed window, rather than adjusting the position of the unfolded window to clear adjacent windows, as it happens when manually unfolding.

Collapsed windows are floating windows that have been reduced to the height of their titlebar by double-clicking on empty space on the titlebar, or by selecting the ‘collapse’ option from the three-dot menu.

When full-screen window are set to floating mode, they do not expand other collapsed windows when opened.

The sequence of screenshots that follow show the unexpected behaviour in chronological order.

That’s a known bug with Photon, generously being ignored by CCP because they already abandoned the UI development.
