Description Bryan Hunt CLA 2008-02-01 22:38:24 EST 
Build ID: N20080201-0010

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Right click on the toolbar
2. Select Toggle Toolbar Visibility
3. Try to find a way to show the toolbar


More information:
Once I hide the toolbar, I can't find any way to bring it back.  I can't seem to right-click anywhere to get the toolbar context menu back, resetting the perspective doesn't work, I can't find a preference anywhere, and I can't find a menu option anywhere.

Where is the Window -> Show Toolbar menu option? It is still missing in latest builds.

I meant: it is missing in latest builds.

On linux right clicking on the coolbar drag-bar shows the context menu with Hide Toolbar, and the Show Toolbar option is only in the Window menu if the coolbar is hidden.

On Mac, though, I'm sure where the coolbar context menu is.  It contains "Customize Perspective" and "Lock the Toolbars" as well.

It is not a Mac-only bug. It is happening in Windows too, where there is no menu option, neither some place where to invoke the context menu.

Fortunately, this setting is not being saved, and restarting Eclipse restores the toolbar.

This was removed intentionally by bug 173927 but it should be appearing when the toolbar is hidden at least... punting to Tod.

This is working for us in I20080205 on Windows and the Mac
Comment 7 Kim Horne CLA 2008-02-07 09:27:37 EST 
To clarify:  the Show Toolbar menu item appears in the Window menu for both Tod and I running XP and OS X after hiding the toolbar.  It does not appear when the toolbar is visible, however, and this is by design.
