Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

I like the extra pane option F3 in lucid, but I see the following
usability hazard: say I have a lot of tabs open and I hit F3 to open an
extra pane. Then I realize that I don't need the extra pane and hit F3
again. The result is that all my tabs have vanished because nautilus
keeps the newly created pane when I hit F3 twice.

There's two solutions for this imho:

1) the easy solution would be to keep the old pane active when I hit F3. This 
way double F3 would keep the old pane alive instead of the new one.
2) the more complex solution would be to make sure that all tabs stay alive 
when I close an extra pane. So if I close a pane with different tabs, then all 
of those tabs will be attached as tabs to the remaining pane. Or at least all 
those tabs except the one I'm closing.
