Description Sam Davis

Now that we can preview context without activating a task, I don't think it makes sense to activate a task when retrieving context using the action on the context preview page. I would like to be able retrieve a context for a different task and look at it without deactivating my active task.

Yes, that seems reasonable to me. It would probably still make sense to switch to the context tab to show the result of the download but it seems reasonable to skip the automatic task activation.

I was thinking of when you are already on the context tab. I don't know what should happen otherwise.

Right, I was thinking of the context menu in the task editor attachments sections. Definitely makes sense for the context tab and task list context menu.
