Thanks john for reporting and thanks XnTriq for linking my topic.

Yes the 'Empty tab' feature is still in it's infancy and I think Pierre is working hard on other bugs for MP but I have faith this issue will get resolved when Pierre is ready.

and yes a tickbox in settings like "Empty tabs: Always occupy these first" should be enabled by default
Request: The <no file> tab should be dynamic & be used

First of all, thank you so much Pierre for adding this initial feature (<Empty> tab ) back in the previous beta 0.30 can't remember.

Right, for the above quoted I think a tickbox option that would go somewhere in the settings, something named like;
-Empty tabs: Always occupy these first

so by enabling such this option, anytime a file is launched from the browser or elsewhere and an empty tab (<Empty>) is available, that first empty tab would be used first. Perhaps maybe this option should be ticked by default, perhaps not.

I think users would love it.

To reproduce:

[1] · Close all tabs except the browser
[2] · Close the browser
[3] · MP creates an <Empty> tab
[4] · Open the browser
[5] · Empty tab remains

Ok, so upon [4] of opening the Browser that the first sole 'Empty' tab should transform into becoming the Browser tab. Yes, this would certainly integrate into my same related topic;
Request: The <no file> tab should be dynamic & be used

Actually after doing tests in MP 0.56 I think the "Superfluous" tab should stay because that Superfluous tab is to show that View mode is ready for drag & drop action.

So I don't think this is an issue.
