Description Benjamin Pasero

Eclipse: 3.3 M6

I wonder if this is already known, but I have my "Team Synchronize" perspective in a state where I can restore the Synchronize view from the FVB, switch perspectives and then come back and the view would still show minimized in the FVB. Thats really annoying because that means that the view will always show minimized at first.

Whoops, I should add: the editor area was maximized, though empty. That would not have happened with Bug 179255 considered :).

I am even seeing this when restarting Eclipse. My package explorer shows up was minimized view in the FVB although it was not minimized prior on shutdown.

Ah I think I have an explanation: My workflow often ends up having the editor area maximized. When I close the last editor, the editor area is still maximized. Now I restore the minimized Views from the FVB, however, this does not clear the maximized flag of the editor area (I think this is a known bug). Now, when I switch perspectives, the View I just restored is put minimized into the FVB again, because the editor area is still maximized.

Nasty :)

I agree...

Benjamin, this is version of another defect that's been fixed by implementing the 'correct' behavior; restore any maximized stack when -any- other stack gets moved back into the presentation.

In this scenario it means that when you restored the synchronize view the editor area would have become un-maximized (and any other 'zoomed' stacks would have been restored as well).

Olivier had a different but similar scenario but I can't find the bug at the moment...

Found it...bug 179094. Since I've closed this I won't mark it as a dup but I'll indicate that it 'depends on' 179094 being fixed.
