Yes that is the expected and intended behavior and is documented in the help. The ToolWindowLoaded event fires when a given PaneToolWindow instance is shown for the first time. When the user drags a pane a new PaneToolWindow is always created. When someone double clicks the pane header or pane tab item they are toggling between the floating dockable position and the docked dockable position restoring it to where it was before. When that happens the previous PaneToolWindow is displayed (assuming it’s not already showing – remember you can have multiple panes in a floating window and just toggle the docked state of one) and the ToolWindowLoaded event is not invoked. It would only be invoked if the pane was never previously in a floating state and we need to create a new PaneToolWindow to host it. That event is akin to the Loaded event (hence the naming) and is not meant to be indicative of the visible state of the toolwindow but simply a way to know when a PaneToolWindow is first initialized (so one might do some manipulation of it) and ToolWindowUnloaded is when it is being released (so one might undo that manipulation if necessary). The WPF framework has a IsVisibleChanged event defined on UIElement so if they really wanted to know when the PaneToolWindow is being made visible then perhaps they could hook the ToolWindowLoaded and in that event hook the IsVisibleChanged of the e.ToolWindow.
