Touching a collection on the left hand side, wipes out your work in aggregations with no warning
Touching a collection on the left hand side, wipes out your work in aggregations with no warning
When using aggregations and you are busy with your pipeline(s)
If you left click on any of the collections on the left panel,
It wipes out your work on the aggregations (no warnings at all)
[Yet when we paste in an exported version of the pipeline it gives a warning]
This makes it hard to teach people how to use aggregations, as they have to treat the left hand panel like a land mine (and all they wanted to do was to look up the name for the field)
Proposed fixes:
give a warning you are about to erase your work
- this would be bad for new user journey, they wouldn't know why the warning was there
don't erase and just open in a new tab
- this would create more tabs open

Thanks everyone for your feedback here. This issue is resolved starting in Compass version 1.43.3.

This "feature" is incredibly annoying. It makes Compass extremely frustrating to use since it's so easy to click on that left panel, even accidentally, and boom - everything is lost.
Please make it so that it opens a new tab, instead of overwriting the old one, or at least give you an option dialog - anything but wiping out my work!
