Empty Item windows from other tabs are not hidden

[akademie]

Open "Empty Item" notes windows are displayed from all project tabs, not only from active project tab!

These windows from other (background) project tabs should be hidden (or marked with the tab# and project-name at least).

See screenshot, I have 3 projects open in tabs (Project-A, Project-B and Project-C). I have Empty item with example text in each of them, opened-visible.

EDIT: Well, there is this "Hide background projects FX/MIDI windows" in right-click menu on project tabs.
So either it should cover the case with "Empty items" too, or add a new one also for "Empty items" if it makes more sense than together with FX/MIDI windows.
And BTW, in the action list, this action is called more general: "Project tabs: Hide all background project windows", so that should definitely hide Empty items.

I tried this in v7.22 +dev0903a and it is working
Thank you

But it is not immediate - I mean if I uncheck the option and create Empty Item and maybe also plugin window in each of e.g. 3 project tabs, then enable this option, i have to activate all of those tabs one by one to reinitialize the correct behavior (to hide them in this case).

What I mean:
- let's uncheck the "Hide background projects windows" option
- in each tab I insert Empty Item and open the window (type in prj1 -proj3 to recognize them)
- I see all 3 Empty Item windows visible (because of unchecked "Hide..." option, OK)
- Now I enable the "Hide..." option (still no change, but that maybe OK, even though I would expect that all background windows will hide at that moment..??)
- I activate tab1, now I see Empty Item windows and plugins for tab1 and tab2 (windows from tab3 are already hidden)
- I activate tab2, then I see only Empty Item window and plugins for tab2 (OK)
- since that moment it is all reinitialized and we will see only active tab windows

BTW, the "not-immediate" behavior was there still I think as I never needed change the default state of this "Hide background project windows" option. And also is the same the other way = to make the background project windows visible.

Let me know if it can be somehow improved or not - so in the second case I would mark the issue as [FIXED] already.

Thanks
