Description Curtis Windatt

2006-12-05 10:53:50 EST

Build ID: I20061129-1340

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Open variables view
2. Selecting variables and hitting Ctrl-C should copy the variables to the clipboard
3. Select text in the detail pane, Ctrl-C should copy the selected text to the clipboard
4. Select variables again.  Hitting Ctrl-C does not copy.


More information:
Due to the detail pane setting the copy action id to it's own text copy.  When the variables tree regains focus it can't replace the text copy action with its own copy action because that action was added through plugin.xml.

Wait until 75852 is committed before altering how actions are handled in variables view.

Propose to have the detail pane proxy save/restore the global actions contributed to the action bars as the tree loses/gains focus, to restore all contributed actions and their global action definition ids.

The action bar does not have access to all contributed actions - only the actions on the toolbar (i.e. not the copy action in the context menu).

For now, we save/restore the copy action in the variable view.

Fixed. Please verify, Curtis.

Verified the fix

In the future we should look at ways of improving the action handling in the variables view to allow more flexibility for plugin contributed actions.  Requiring actions to be hard coded to get/keep key bindings could be a problem.
