Description of problem: Currently, when you open the tasks, if you go to the vertical navigation and go somewhere, you still have the tasks open instead of browsing to the requested tab. Browsing should automatically close the tasks screen.
It doesn't close Tasks when trying to open the same menu item as the one from where the Tasks were opened before. Steps to reproduce: 1. go to Storage -> Domains 2. click on Tasks in top right menu, tasks are displayed 3. go to Storage -> Domains again from left menu, Tasks are still there Other problem is that Tasks are not opened after closed from left menu item. Steps to reproduce: 1. go to Storage -> Domains 2. click on Tasks in top right menu, tasks are displayed 3. go to Compute -> Virtual Machines 4. Tasks are closed, VMs displayed 5. click on Tasks in top right menu - no tasks displayed (no error in logs, browser console) 6. click again on Tasks - tasks are displayed tested in ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-4.2.0-0.0.master.20171113223918.git25568c3.el7.centos.noarch
So there is literally nothing I can do about the first problem. You are going to a spot you are at already, so nothing happens. The tags/bookmarks/tasks are simply overlays on top of the location you are at. In this example case domains. Only if you switch locations will something happen that will allow me to close the overlay. The second issue will be fixed with a patch.
Alright, tasks can be closed other way, so it's a minor issue. It works now as expected. verified in ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-4.2.0-0.0.master.20171119135709.git6d448d3.el7.centos.noarch
