Description Krzysztof Daniel CLA 2007-01-24 02:18:32 EST 
Build ID: I20061214-1445

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Create Logic example, Show property view.
2. Add two shapes & select them.



More information:
If those two objects has the same property, but different values, the first selected one is displayed.

There should be a way of customization this behaviour.
Comment 1 Krzysztof Daniel CLA 2007-01-24 02:25:12 EST 
A way of customization is needed, because user may not want to display inconsistent properties.
Comment 2 Krzysztof Daniel CLA 2007-02-06 03:13:12 EST 
GEF changes are not possible without PropertyView changes

Daniel which defect should I be tracking this on ?? We currently have 3 (three!) candidates: this one, bug 15734 and bug 173004.

Let's pick one...
Comment 5 Eric Moffatt CLA 2007-02-06 11:58:34 EST 
I'd suggest one of the later ones since 15734 talks about a far more generic solution than this one (i.e. simply blanking the values).
Comment 6 Suresh Mohan CLA 2007-03-28 15:28:08 EDT 
This is a very important feature to our product which is based on Eclipse GEF Plugins.
Comment 7 Anthony Hunter CLA 2010-02-04 19:37:29 EST 
It is expected behavior for the core platform properties view to display the first property value on multiple selection.

Reopen if you feel strongly otherwise.
