Node/Script Editing Workflow Convenience When Switching Between The Two.

Godot Engine v3.2.4.rc4.official - https://godotengine.org
OpenGL ES 3.0 Renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M OpenGL Engine
OpenGL ES Batching: ON

Describe the project you are working on

Working on some Godot ideas.

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

When you click on the script of a Node, the script editing opens and the Inspector changes.

The problem is that if I click back on the same Node it does not present the node 2D/3D view nor does it show the Inspector of that node. You must first click on a different node and then click back on the same node.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

This would be a convenience and consistency feature so one does not have to remember to click on a different node or the 2D/3D tab at the top.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

When clicking back on the node, revert back to the 2D/3D view and show inspector of that node.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

No it cannot

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

It is part of the editor workflow

This looks like a bug.

[wyattbiker]

Didn't occur to me, but now that you mention it, makes more sense it's a bug. @Calinou how is this handled? Can issue be moved or is it a reopen as bug.

I think the SceneTree has allow_reselect off, or something.
There are 2D/3D buttons on the top, I use them. Also there are shortcuts to switch between main 2D/3D/ScriptEditor screens.

But yea, I found that uinconvinient too at first.

[KoBeWi]

Right, this is fixed since RC5: godotengine/godot#46935

[me2beats]

Downloaded 3.3.7; the problem still exists
But only sometimes.

Ok it seems I have steps to reproduce:

1. Select the node
2. Press Script button or press Ctrl+F3 on the keyboard
3. Click the selected node
   Nothing happens in this case

[KoBeWi]

I can't reproduce

EDIT:
Ah, you mean Script button. It's not a bug, the node is already in the inspector. godotengine/godot#39539 is related I guess

[wyattbiker]

I too see the problem too with the Script button on the menu bar. For me rarely used but would be nice to fix for consistency.
