I'm confused by some of the display results I get when trying out the View
options. When I switch from one file (X) to another (Y), the various views like
Surfaces, Wireframe etc persist in displaying X. And from that point on, even if
I switch to Z, it continues to show the views for X.
Even after opening a new file, I still get the various views from an earlier
file.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2h079s2gyeh9pru/ViewMenuPuzzle.jpg?raw=1
I suspect I'm not using these options properly but so far haven't pinpointed
documentation to set me straight. My best guess is that I don't understand the
distinction between the two 'Preview' commands, F5 and F9? But it still seems
strange that any residue of previous work should remain when that file is no
longer active.

The display shows the last rendered file - -it is like running a
separate viewing program when you hit f5/6

Or in other words, tabs are text files, they are not individually tied to the display.
When you do F5 or F6 it takes the then current text file and paints it to the display.
If you change tabs/text-files, the display does not change, until you do a F5/F6.
Changing the View changes the display, ie the last time a F5/F6 populated the display, just changes
the view, without a new preview/render.

Thanks Ray. So, to check I have this right: those views ONLY apply after using
F6, yes? If so, shouldn't they be inaccessible until then?
If I've correctly recalled your time zone (same as my son in Carlsbad CA?)
you're up extremely early!

I think that it is showing you what you last "rendered - F6".
Try hitting F6 prior to switching views.

Others have explained what's going on, but I have to agree that it feels
weird to have the view pane be showing model A while the text shows
model B. I'd rather that when you change tabs it clears the view pane.
But then again for most purposes I prefer multiple windows, and I'm
still kind of annoyed that Ctrl+N got changed from "new window" to "new
tab".

It would be best if it had a screen buffer for each tab, so that you can
switch between them instantly and they are always in sync. I have no idea
how hard that would be to implement or how resource hungry it would be.
