This seems to slightly conflict with your example where SimpleMail can't open it own screen (because it's open) and defaults to the workbench.

My example was slightly wrong: MUI apps are not able to re-use a (failed-closed) screen ONLY when Ringhio blocked it from closing. I wrongly assumed it was caused by all apps blocking screen closure.

This is further evidence that there are TWO bugs, with Ringhio's being entirely unrelated (although superficially similar).

As far as I can tell it will only autoclose a screen for the app that autoopened it. If another app even another MUI app opens on that screen then the screen is not autoclosed when the later app quits / iconifies even if that app is set to use that screen.

Thus MUI autoclosing a screen is a one off response to the closing of the open apps window.

Am I right in thinking that this is the behaviour that ChrisH thinks is abug?

Yes, this appears to be the main MUI bug that I reported in post #22.
