No code folding in a new editor window

[ycwang-hello]

I can see code folding in the editor in the main window. However, If I click "New Window" to open a new Editor window, there's no code folding buttons.

If I toggle on/off "Source>Show code folding", the sidebar widens/narrows, for both the original and the additional Editor, but only in the original Editor do I see the triangles.

Spyder version: 6.0.3 (standalone)

(Possibly related to #22332)

Also related to a New Window of Editor: If I enable "View > Outline", the outline panel is shown on the left (while in Spyder v5 it was on the right). And it seems impossible to move the panels in the "New Window" Editor. If I click "Undock" or "Move" it changes the editor within the main window rather than that additional editor

Hi @ycwang-hello thank you for the report! I was able to reproduce this:

We will try to check a fix for this in a future release 👍

I was able to reproduce this too, should we create another issue for that @ccordoba12 ? My guess is that those actions to move/undock shouldn't be shown for Editor Windows instances, right?

Just want to mention this is the same with vertical and horizontal split. This also seems to apply to indent guides showing or not. In my adventures adding multi-cursor, I ended up kinda skimming over a lot interactions with folded code as it was complicated to manage the folded state which is somewhat tied to the codeeditor, and somewhat tied to the document. In my opinion, I'd be trying to remove all dependence on the document so that two codeeditors (separate window or split window) can have different folding state. The alternative would be to make all the state reside in the document so it is automatically synchronized, but that seems to me like it might be more difficult. Edit: actually maybe easiest to make all folding relative to document because hiding lines is done via document.block.setVisible 🤷‍♂️

@dalthviz, I don't understand this: those actions are not displayed for me on new windows:

@ycwang-hello, this is by design: new editor windows are not as flexible as the main Spyder window, so it's not possible to move the Outline to other positions. And we decided to leave it on the left because that's where it's shown in most editors and IDEs.

The Move/Undock actions that are being referenced are over the editorstack options menu:

Those actions act over the mainwindow Editor:

Ok, I see. Then yeah, please open a new issue about it.

Note: This was fixed (but never merged) for Spyder 5 in PR #21033
