Hopefully that title makes sense...
Normally QM stays open as you browse a site. However if you view a panel that isn't guaranteed to be present on one page and then browse to another page where that panel is not present, QM closes entirely.
Example: browse to a single post page, open the QM blocks panel, then browse to an archive page. QM should close.
What would you think about falling back to the overview panel in this case?
