Description Markus Keller CLA 2007-10-25 03:40:44 EDT 
I20071023-0800

The Error Log view does not refresh when new errors are logged.

I have "Activate on new events" (should be called "Activate on New Events") enabled and the Error Log view does come to front on new events (but does not show them).

Workaround: click "Restore Log".

can't reproduce from HEAD... damn log view...

yes, it should be "Activate on New Events"

keeping you in the loop here Jacek
Comment 3 Markus Keller CLA 2007-10-25 11:55:52 EDT 
- Markus Keller: Try it with a big log file.
I pasted
:pserver:bogus@nada.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse
into the CVS Repositories view, and then refreshed a few times. Then I duplicated the .log's content a few times (blew it up to about 800KB). After a restart, I'm seeing the effect constantly.

- Chris Aniszczyk: ok, I see it now also

patch

I think there is a different problem - entries are added to wrong session.
Attached is patch.

I'll also attach an example plugin that I've used to create error events.

error generator

adds a button, that generates some NPE.
