🐞 Describe the bug
In the event that multiple View Range Editor windows are opened at the same time, the planes in the 3D view remain after both windows are closed. They also continue to update as if the Editor was still open, changing elevations when different views are selected in the Project Browser.
⌨ Error/Debug Message
No error message appears.
♻️ To Reproduce
- Click "Show View Range" tool
- Click "Show View Range" tool again
- Select a view from the Project Browser
- Open 3D view (steps 3 and 4 are normal usage of this tool)
- Close both windows
- Select a new view from the Project Browser. Planes are still visible in 3D and they will update.
⏲️ Expected behavior
Planes are expected to disappear when the tool is closed.

Additional context
A check should be run prior to opening the second window to see if the tool is already active. If it is active, some message that "Tool is already active" would be beneficial in case the user has simply lost the original window.
