Description:
Opening an edit view dialog, when a dialog to edit a view is already open, terminates the
other edit view dialog finally, any uncommitted changes get lost without warning. It is
not handy or helpful, if you need to edit views that use other views (where you might
need information about the underlying view).

How to repeat:
Select "edit view" for view 1. Tthen select "edit view" for a second view. This will
terminate the editor for view 1.

Suggested fix:
I could imagine two ways of dealing with this situation:
(1) Prompt the user, if he/she wants to continue and close the editor for view 1
(2) Open a separate editor instance for each view.
