Description Alberto Ricart

If you start multiple eclipse sessions with different workspaces, the last session doesn't update the prefs to the workspace it is using. My guess is that unless you choose a different workspace on a running version of eclipse, eclipse doesn't realize that the change has happened.

The current workspace should always be saved regardless of whether eclipse thinks the user changed it or not.

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.
