System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce MX250/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 441.20

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.93.1, branch: master, commit date: 2021-06-22 05:57, hash: 1b8d33b18c
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
I was figuring out how to use the split screen when I accidentally made a lot of split screens. In my attempt to get them to fuse together again, I was left with a weird half border of a split screen when there isn't one. When I scroll to the corners of the line I can still see a + at my cursor, but when I try to click and move it, I get a circle with a line inside it which probably means that it is not possible to merge of form a new split screen.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

*Form a lot of random split screens and simultaneously try to fuse them together

I can confirm with the sample file.

File could be simplified further. @ceciliacyx , can you reproduce the issue with default scene instead of present "donut file"?

@ceciliacyx Are you able to create this situation at will? If so, start with the default layout and write down a list of steps that I can follow to create the same issue.

No I do not know how to replicate the situation. I just accidentally got stuck with the line. It's fine, thanks for your help anyways. I guess I will just make my donut again in a new file

@ceciliacyx - I guess I will just make my donut again in a new file

If you need to fix this file:

  • In the workspace tabs (at the top), right-click on "Layout" and select "Delete".
  • Scroll the workspace tabs to get to the right side of it with the "+". Click "+" and select "General / Layout"
  • Right-click on that new "Layout" tab and select "Reorder to Front".
  • Done.

May be we can mark this as confirmed (Reported multiple times)

I think so, but without reproducible steps to create the problem it is hard to investigate a fix.

Sorry to be strict here (yes, I can also repro in the provided file) and there indeed seem to be more areas in screen->areabase than expected (leading to the glitch afaict), but it seems unreasonable to guard against such a "corrupt" case (@Harley correct me if I am wrong, not sure if it would be possible at all to somehow "correct" / "sanitize" such a case), and if we dont have a way to reproduce, this will not get fixed I am afraid.

Will archive for now, if anyone comes across reproduction steps, please make sure to post them here (or open a new report), we can always reopen in such case...
