Hi,

(For future reference, when the pastebin may no longer be available, the image is of the 'View' menu which refers to the 'Output Pane' etc.)

In the real world, a pane is a section of a window. When showing, the 'Output View' and similar become panes of the main window, so I consider it a reasonable use of the word.

A better question is, why does the menu not call them by their current names e.g. View > Output View, Workspace View...

Regards,

David

Hello DavidGH, I'm sorry for the late reply

What you said is perfectly reasonable, I don't clearly remember why I thought that it was a mistake, maybe I just don't know english that well, thanks for explaining to me what a pane is
