Clicking an item in Analyze pane does nothing but return to post-scan initial state
See original GitHub issueEnvironment: Xubuntu 20.0.4 up-to-date. sudo apt update, sudo apt dist-upgrade I followed the checklist! Also, I deleted the pip cache and reinstalled spyder and all of its dependencies.
Problem Description
After analysis has completed, the Analyze pane shows the results correctly. But, it seems non-functional / buggy in terms of the mouse interface.
What steps reproduce the problem?
- Press F8.
- Click on any item in the Analyze output list.
What is the expected output?
Analyze pane: The pane contents would stay as-is in terms of opened categories with the selected item highlighted. Source pane: The referenced source line would get focus and be highlighted.
What do you see instead?
Analyze pane: All of the categories (Convention, Refactor, Warning, and Error) are closed (returned to initial post-scan state?). The Analyze pane is still usable by reopening any of the categories. Source pane: Nothing is selected in the source pane.

@ccordoba12 I was under the mistaken impression that this issue was slated for fix in 4.1.5. When I saw it wasn’t, my intention was to simply inquire and give the project some feedback. As an open source developer, I appreciate the time and effort put into this project.
Fell back to 4.0.1. No worries.
