There is no bundled up checkbox-style option for disabling that, but much of the UI is implemented by HTML files that can actually be edited, and it is possible to modify the UI files to disable this behavior.

To do that you'll need to go into the \ui sub-folder inside of MoI's installation and edit the file SidePane.htm - if you're on a Mac then to get to the ui sub-folder, right-click on the MoI .app file and pick "Show package contents" on the menu that pops up, and then inside of there go to drive_c/moi/ui , you'll then want to edit the file SidePane.htm in a text editor, TextEdit.app should work I think.

The line you want to modify is (in the current v3 beta) the 15th line of the file which is the one that says "autodeactivate:true", which I've marked with >>>> <<<< here:

            moi\:PaletteHeader > moi\:TabContainer {
                display:-webkit-box;
                -webkit-box-orient:horizontal;
                -webkit-box-align:stretch;
>>>>>>>>>>>>    autodeactivate:true;   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
             }

Either delete that line or set it to say autodeactivate:false; instead. Then with that edited, the next time you launch it the behavior of collapsing a panel by a second click on an already active palette header tab will just do nothing instead of the previous collapsing behavior.

You'll need to repeat this edit on any new versions of MoI that you install like each new beta release, so I'd recommend saving this information off in a text file somewhere so you can repeat these steps later on if you need to.


Hope this helps!
