Came across this behavior while testing scenarios around https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=359556
What I'm going to describe here is not really a bug ... but might need some discussion about whether or not this is desired use case behavior. 1) Open a Java perspective 2) Open two editors 3) Open the debug perspective Of course, the two editors are open in the editor area. 4) drag one of the editors into some stack outside of the of the shared editor area. 5) switch to the Java perspective So the editor dragged outside of the shared editor area is not visible in the Java perspective. As a (wannabee) E4 developer, I understand why. The stack I dropped it into in the debug perspective is not part of the Java perspective. But I wonder, is this really what the user would expect to happen? Does the user community as a whole understand that it is the place where editors open by default that is magical and shared .... or is their mental model that editors are magical and shared. I suppose it is obvious there is an editor area ... it has decorations that can minimize it. Just thought I'd bring it up and see if anybody else finds this surprising. [email protected]
