Office-js: Two Taskpanes when using Auto-open Taskpane

[dgrudenic]

Expected Behavior

I would expect if you are using Auto-open in combination with some buttons in the ribbon that after document opens with taskapne on the side you'll not end up with two Taskpanes after you click some navigation button in the ribbon.

Current Behavior

I was playing with Auto-open Taskpane online example at https://github.com/OfficeDev/Office-Add-in-Commands-Samples/tree/master/AutoOpenTaskpane

and if you set auto-open on and save document next time you open document taskpane opens which looks like normal behaviour.
Strange and unexpected behaviour is when you open the document and click ribbon button "Auto open sample" it will open additional Taskpane and you'll end up having two Taskpanes.

Steps to Reproduce, or Live Example

Your Environment

• Platform [PC desktop, Mac, iOS, Office Online]: Works same on Mac and PC (I was using Mac).
• Host [Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc.]: Excel, Word, PowerPoint
• Office version number: 16.17 (180909)
• Operating System: macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)
