Whenever you select a flow or node in the explorer, it opens an edit window. Is it a feature that the edit window queues up follow up edits?

It works for me too, however is it supposed to queue up?

When selectig multiple flows or nodes after each other?

To clarify, it isn't selecting the node in the explorer (single click) - its double clicking on it that opens the editor.

If the editor is already open, then yes, it needs to stack up the editors. You have to click 'Done' to confirm your changes for any particular node (or hit cancel).

Okay that confirms my question. Yes, I am sorry I should have said that double clicking opens the editor. But my question about the queueing is answered, thank you.
