Yes closing and reopening the Validation pane is effectively a no-op as it is a QDockWidget that is only even hidden (invisible) not actually closed and deleted.

The status until a validation tool is run again is not changed.
Yes further editing does not change anything until a validation tool is actually run. When the tool is run it fully clears and updates the Validation window, so the Validation pane will either display a list of errors or No Problems found.

Closing the validation window is simply hiding it. To get updated info on a validation run you must actually run a validation tool. The pane will always show the results from the last tool run.

So as far as I can tell this is working as designed.

Exactly what are you looking for?

Is it just a way to clear the current results from a previous run without re-running a validation tool?
