Description Paul Webster CLA 2010-05-26 13:37:59 EDT 
in I20100523-1612

I installed the EMF SDK and opened our /org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.workbench/model/UIElements.ecore file.  If I open the Properties view it shows the correctly selected element, but if I select a different element in the ecore editor, the Properties view is not updated.

If you close and reopen the view, it tracks the selection of views (such as the 'Package Explorer'). It refuses to track the selection of the ecore editor though.

Actually, it only seems to want to track the "first" view. If I have the 'Navigator' up on restart then try the 'Package Explorer' it doesn't want to work.

If my views are parts instead of placeholders, then it works. Not quite sure why that is affecting this at the moment.
Comment 4 Remy Suen CLA 2010-05-27 10:04:02 EDT 
Changes to selections were not being propagated upwards because the selection service was created at the window level but the scoping was done/"blocked" at the perspective level.

I've released a fix and a test.
