New window via 'File > New > Window' / Ctrl+N in embedded mode does not render the document

Description

In embedded mode, if you create a new window via 'File > New > Window' or the accelerator key combination Ctrl+N, the resulting window does not render the document in the client area. I believe this may be a result of some of the performance improvements that I made a while back, where I made many of the resources in the active document class static.

On closer examination, my previous hypothesis has proved false. Our rendering code completes successfully (as evidenced by the correct rendering of the Sidewinder branding bar at the top of the document). Rather, it appears to be something to do with the browser control that we are using.

Just recording a couple more observations about this bug:

  1. If you make the Source View tab active then press Ctrl+N, everything works fine.
  2. If you have an embedded mode instance open with the Rendered View tab active then invoke a new instance in a separate browser window by navigating to the same document, everything works fine.

So, just to clarify, this problem only exists with Ctrl+N (not with other methods of concurrently opening a document) and it only exists if the Rendered View tab is active in an existing instance.
