Maximize editor group auto sizing stops working after closing the sidebar

[rbingham]

When maximizing an editor group and switching between groups, the focused group will maximize. After opening or closing the sidebar, the maximizing stops happening. I have had this happen on linux as well.

Version information

Version: 1.32.1
Commit: 05f146c
Date: 2019-03-08T00:15:00.418Z

Chrome: 66.0.3359.181
Node.js: 10.2.0
V8: 6.6.346.32

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open two tabs and place them in different editor groups
2. Maximize editor group
3. Switching between editor groups makes the focused group maximize
4. Open sidebar
5. Close sidebar
6. Switching between editor groups doesn't maximize focused group.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

@sbatten something to reconsider for the workbench grid, I can reproduce both with the old layout and the new one.

Duplicate of #77901 ?

@bpasero #77901 would be a duplicate of this issue as this one was made back in march.

Letting you guys know that it still reproduces on:

Version: 1.43.0
Commit: 78a4c91400152c0f27ba4d363eb56d2835f9903a

Node.js: 12.8.1
V8: 7.8.279.23-electron.0

And is still a pain to deal with; to a point where I'm now going to revert to 1.24 after trying out the latest release.
