Possible bug: `showView` does not appear to work

Open two documents in Krita, open the scripter and paste this code in:

w=Krita.instance().activeWindow()
print(len(w.views()))
w.showView(w.views()[0])

Press “run” and nothing happens. Replace the 0 with a 1 and try again – still nothing happens. Is this a bug? Is there some workaround I can use to change tab programatically or am I stuck here?

A suitable workaround would be if I could close a view somehow. But I can only close documents and windows AFAICT, not views.

Krita version: 5.2.9

Not sure why Window.showView() doesn’t seem to do anything.
But View.setVisible() seems to work for this, though it might need the window to be activated to take effect.

Why thank you, that works perfectly!

I’ll leave this open for a bit, since it may be worth reporting the bug.
