There were issues with the restoration of the Edit Runtime tab from previous state.
As a result we don't allow it to open in a new tab: #2407
On reflection it might not be a good idea to allow the Edit Runtime form to be left open like this as it increases the chance of broadcast conflicts (we don't track broadcasts made whilst the form is open). So perhaps this is a reasonable restriction.
However, if that's the way we decide to go, we may want to revert some of the edits from: #2394
