Description Boris Bokowski CLA 2005-11-01 15:32:03 EST 
Start with a fresh workspace and move the fast view bar to the right, so that
the area is larger. Reset the Java perspective. Use the arrow keys to move the
package explorer to the right until the cursor shows that dropping the view
would turn it into a detached view. Now (without dropping) press the left arrow
key. Note that the cursor remains a "detach" cursor even after you got into the
area where it
should drop the view at the right edge. Somehow, it matters where you "come
from" with the arrow keys.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
