Issue created Jun 19, 2021 by holvo@holvoReporter

Simulation starts surprisingly already when the 'Inspect->Simulator' button is hit

When a circuit has been simulated, all its data have been plotted and saved, and later it is reloaded into Eeschema by File -> Open Recent and then when I select from the Eeschema window Inspect -> Simulator the simulation starts immediately. This also happens when I just redo the simulation in the existing eeschema window.

This behaviour is somewhat surprising, and if the simulation takes more than a few seconds, the 'busy' sign as the only reaction in Eeschema is irritating (What is going on? Do I have a problem?). Only when the simulation has finished, the simulator window pops up.

I would prefer that after choosing Inspect -> Simulator, the simulator window always pops up first, and the simulation is started only after hitting the 'Run/Stop Simulation' button.
