Description Hermann Voßeler

You can minimize any view, so there are only the tabs showed.
If you then click on a tab (e.g. "problems" or "cross references" or "servers"...)
the corresponding view is restored.

Now it would be nice if you could (re)minimize the view by clicking on its
tab again. In this scenario, the tabs would be sort of a "palette" or "toggles"
and you could just peek into a view and then minimize it again without having 
to move the mouse to the minimize button on the side. At the moment, if you
click on the tab of a opened (and not minimized) view, nothing happens.

Note that yo can get this behavior by minimizing the stack that contains the view. When the stack is in the presentation then a click activates it and a double-click maximizes it so we don't have any way to have 'click to minimize'.

yea, I use the new Eclipse since about two weeks, and I consider this issue
now as "solved": you can have a lot of views just "lurking" and have a
quick look into them and switch them back with just another click.
Thanks!
