Tabs are not closed but left in strange state

[DomasM]

I use TidyTabs in VS 2015, together with several other extensions: Power Tools, CodeRush for Roslyn and VsVim. Instead of closing tabs TidyTabs bring them in some sort of strange state. Tab is left open, but file content is not displayed, just uniform gray color. To view file I have to close it and open again. I am not sure if this happens with every tab TidyTabs tries to close, but it happens a lot.

Logs show nothing strange:

Hi @DomasM,

Thank you for reporting this issue. I'm not longer using Visual Studio for my day-to-day work, but I would still like to fix this issue.

I noticed you were editing XAML files in your screenshot, doe this just happen for XAML files? I'm wondering if it is related to to the visual designer/code mixed use tab?

If you could submit a pull request with a project added where the issue it reproducible that would be a huge help.

Thanks

I can't reliably reproduce issue, especially with dummy projects siting idle. It does happen only with .xaml files. I use visual designer only for very short amounts of time so this issue is certainly not specific only to split tab (code+preview).
