Describe the issue:

When creating a new session from the top bar, you can't see the console you just created if the Console tab is not active.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Switch to a tab in the Panel other than Console (e.g. Problems)
  2. From the top left bar, click the interpreter picker, then New Session
  3. Select an interpreter

The session does start, but the Console pane doesn't appear.

Expected or desired behavior:

Consoles created in this way should raise and focus the Console pane so the user gets immediate, positive feedback that we are starting the console they asked for, and can use it as soon as it's ready.
