🐞Default Channel Tab Setting Doesn't Function In Specific Edge Case

[itsjohnpoopus]

Concise Description

Strange edge case behavior has appeared with the "Channel > Default channel tab" setting. The setting now appears to be ignored when accessing a channel from the sidebar "Subscriptions" listing, but only when the channel is visible. If the channel is listed under "Show more", the setting appears to work properly when the channel is revealed and accessed.

Same behavior on multiple computers. Removed and reinstalled extension and behavior persists. Could be due to YT change.

And late the following day, after behaving the exact same way on two different computers for ~24 hours, the behavior reverts to its original and expected. I suspect the vagaries of Goog Tube are in play. I'll be more patient in the future.
