Context: Toolbar panel, during flight
Similar MSFS 2020 issue: This issue is also present in MSFS 2020.
Bug description:
I have a toolbar panel which has attribute PauseOnOpen="True". When I’m in a flight and open the toolbar panel, the game pauses as expected. When I click escape, I get the pause menu, just like normal. But when I close the pause menu, the toolbar panel has disappeared. Normally the toolbar panel is still there, in the same state as before I opened the pause menu. But now it’s gone, and it has to reopen, which means lost progress.
In the case of the Miltech Mission Hub, it means the user loses their mission creation progress, because the panel gets closed.
This but is also present in MSFS2020. It would be great if it can be solved there too. Should I make a separate bug report for 2020?
Repro steps:
Create a toolbar panel. In the ingamepanels definition .xml, set PauseOnOpen="True". Start a flight. Open the toolbar panel. The game gets paused. Press escape, the pause menu opens. Close the pause menu. Now the toolbar panel has closed and the game is unpaused.
