I can reopen the pane, but it is no longer in the same pane as the editor (with a tab at the bottom)

I have seen this as well, but I don't know what triggers it. What do you mean with "I tried to switch git repositories"? Is this the repository of the code that you were editing or of notebooks that were open, or anything else.

I think that for me, it happens when I switch Spyder versions and my guess is that it has to do with issue #265, so hopefully it will disappear when that is fixed.

You can move the notebook pane back to where it belongs; for this you need to first unlock the panes (menu item View > Lock panes and toolbars).

Yeah, it was the repository that contained the notebook that was open. I had scripts and notebooks open from that directory, but only the notebook consol seemed to crash. Thanks for the work around info.
