MatLab 2025 Variables Window

Dear All, I've just updated to MatLab 2025b from 2022. Previously, when you doubled clicked on a variable in the Workspace, it opened a new global tab that had its own tabs for each open variable. Or it opened as a window and you could dock that Window. Separately, you had the editor window (tab) for scripts and functions. It was easy to switch between variables tab and the editor tab. Now variables open in a split screen view or as tabs mixed in with open scripts. Is there a way to switch back so the variables window gets its own global tab when docked separate from the editor? It is not helpful to have variables open in tabs adjacent to scripts.

It is irrevocable that Mathworks is committed to the new desktop going forward. I would recommend <What's behind the new desktop> to get a viewpoint from the developer's perspective.

That said, submit complaints and/or enhancement requests officially at <Product Support Page> in order for there to be any chance at all of them making changes in appearance and/or functionality. Answers isn't an official channel so complaints/suggestions posted here may or may not be seen and it's unlikely would ever get into the enhancement list otherwise.
