Description

When you single click on file tree on left sidebar, that file tab's label is in italic and tab doesn't stay opened, but another single-clicked file replaces it. I'm talking about this mode in particular, as opposed to file being double-clicked, when tab's label is in normal font.

When single-clicked, it's not possible to split down the pane with a file open. If it was double-clicked, it works as intended. While example is shown with an image, any file will not pane-split if it was opened by single-clicking (its tab's label was in italic).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Single-click on any file on the file Tree View panel. Make sure newly-created tab's label is in italic (you didn't double-click).
2. Activate menu item: View > Panes > Split Down

Expected behavior: Window splitting accordingly and file being open.

Actual behavior: Tree View sidebar splits instead with no file opened in newly-created split.

Reproduces how often: 100%

Thanks for the report! I believe this is expected behavior - this is happening because the tree view has focus on single click pending pane items (e.g. so you can rename the file you single clicked in the tree view). In addition to double clicking the file so it isn't a pending pane item anymore I tried the code Michelle mentioned in atom/tree-view#617 (comment) and that also worked.

Aha! Thanks!
