It would help usability a lot if the chart builder was sticky: - Open chart builder, go to a tab, open a docked popup, close the builder. Open the builder: it goes back to the same tab, with the same popup active (if available on the given chart) - Open chart builder, go to format chart tab, open a docked popup. Click on different node on the left tree, if the popup is also available here, leave it open and refresh its content for the new node. For example clicking on X Axis, Y Axis with Text Format popup open. - Open chart builder, go to format chart tab. select a node in the tree, open a dockup popup, go back to select data tab, go back to format chart tab: the last selected node is still active and the popup is back. There might be some other scenarios, but that gives you the idea: make the user experience easier, you always expect things to be like you left them and not to be reset each time. This is particularly useful when you set similar properties on different elements (like font, or palette colors), or when you experiment some interactive properties and use report preview to fine-tume them(so the builder gets closed and opened multiple times)
Added sticky behavior for subtask and popup selection, the logic is below: 1. Once user brought up the popup, to store the selection in current subtask and compond task. 2. If compound task selection is not null and existent in current subtask, to bring up the popup. 3. If compound task selection is not existent, to bring up the popup stored in the subtask. 4. If subtask selection is not existent either, do nothing.
