Unable to Open Multiple Scenes from Codex Mentions Tab in Write Interface
After opening a scene in Write via the Codex Mentions tab, attempting to open a different scene using the same method does nothing. Navigation is only restored after switching to Plan view. Reporter's Severity assessment: 3, where 1=SHOW STOPPER and 5=TRIVIAL Steps to Reproduce: Open a project in Novelcrafter. Navigate to the Codex and select any codex entry. Click on the Mentions tab. From the list, click the arrow beside a scene to open it in the Write interface. - The selected scene opens successfully. Without leaving the Write interface, return to the Codex Mentions tab. Click the arrow for a different scene in the Mentions list. - Nothing happens; the scene does not change within the write interface. Observed Behavior: Only the first scene selected via the Mentions tab loads into Write. Subsequent attempts from the same interface do not work until you manually switch away from Write (e.g., to Plan). Expected Behavior: Clicking the arrow for any scene in the Mentions tab should open that scene immediately in the Write interface, regardless of which scene was previously loaded. Workaround: Switch to Plan view before trying to open another scene from the Mentions tab; this resets navigation and restores the ability to select scenes. Have not tested other workarounds, but likely any switch away from Write will work the same way. Screen captures: Two provided. 1) First capture shows the interface after clicking the "open" arrow associated with the first set of occurrences. Note that the write interface opened correctly into the relevant scene. 2) The second capture shows the "open" button associated with the second scene where the Mentions are present. Pressing this "open" button does nothing. Comments: I see there may have been previous reports of this issue, but they did not contain steps to reproduce or workarounds. Therefore I've included those items in my defect report in the hopes the information will help developers.
