Fixing bug 418448 restored the original behavior of the left-hand pane on the editing page. It now works like this:

1. Load edit.html -- the left-hand nav is visible.
2. Middle-click (or Ctrl+Click) a folder or file link, to open it in a new tab.
3. Another tab loads edit.html#whatever, showing the folder or file contents. 
4. However, in the new tab, the left-hand nav is collapsed.

I prefer the old, "wrong" behavior where the left-hand nav is always visible.

Made the left-hand pane visible all the time (unless user manually closes it). 

If this behavior is not to everyone's tastes, we should raise it at the Orion UX discussion on Friday.
