I am not 100% sure if this is bug, but still since it didn't worked in 2.79 this may be classified as known issue

This works as I would expect it, at least in the current, limited design. If you close the quad view while the mouse is over a (non-locked!) view, the new 3D View region will take the data from this view. You can modify it or not, but if you go back to quad-view, the current view is taken as user/main view.

There is also some related discussion in rBd71db08f6d31. To make these cases work well, we really need to make quad-view a bit smarter.

So indeed, setting this to known issue.

We could make this always use the top-right view (ignoring the locked state).
