Previously, when you loaded a custom layout (or the one remembered for the current outline was loaded for you), any extraneous panes, i.e. panes not used by the custom layout, were left off to one side. This was annoying, but seemed safer than closing them.
On second thoughts, it makes more sense to close them. The free-layout system already has mechanisms to avoid closing vital panes. Now switching between layouts does exactly what you'd expect, and doesn't leave panes laying around the layout if they're not in the layout. Ironically the itch which prompted this change was better solved by another approach. On top of all the short an long term project to-do juggling I do with Leo, I wanted a *2* pane Leo window to track things I'm going to do today, particular small tasks which might not be in my regular todo tracking files, e.g. because someone just walked in to my office and asked for something. So basically I wanted a Leo layout like the attached. Initially I used the new pane closing layout loading behavior to close the tree pane, and then switched to the tree tab in the log/tab pane. But this was only so so because every time a log message appeared it hid the tree tab. So now the layout is Leo's regular 3 pane layout, with the log/tab pane on the left set to zero width.
