Hmm, this looks like a separate bug from what I just posted.  I 
investigated what you described and noticed too that when starting the 
GUI, even though the editor is open but its tab is "hidden", there is no 
check in the box "Show editor" under the "Window" menu.  But if I click 
on the "Editor" tab, the box "Show editor" will be checked.  Selecting 
the "Command Window" tab does not clear the check box.  Checking and 
unchecking the "Show editor" box will make the whole "Editor" tab appear 
and disappear.  So something isn't consistent there.
