Description Ralf Ebert CLA 2007-09-04 17:58:47 EDT
Build ID: I20070621-1340

Steps To Reproduce: (see attached screenshot)
1. Create a simple RCP application with a view, use something like this to configure the perspective (not fixed, but view is not closeable / moveable, and a folder exists):

---
		String editorArea = layout.getEditorArea();
		layout.setEditorAreaVisible(true);
		layout.setFixed(false);

		layout.addView(View.ID, IPageLayout.LEFT, 0.3f, editorArea);

		layout.createFolder("test", IPageLayout.RIGHT, 0.5f, View.ID);
		IViewLayout viewLayout = layout.getViewLayout(View.ID);
		viewLayout.setCloseable(false);
		viewLayout.setMoveable(false);
---
2. Click "Move > Tab group" from the view context menu (Should this be enabled for separate views?)
3. Drag the single view outside the workbench window
4. Close the now separate toolbar window, view doesn't go back to its original location

I agree that this is confusing. It used to be worse though until very recently, see bug 97859.

Remy is now responsible for watching the [ViewMgmt] category.

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.
