Description Remy Suen CLA 2010-07-19 15:48:02 EDT 
1. Open a file.
2. Drag the editor to a view stack.
3. Window > Open Perspective > Debug
4. Open the file again (say with Ctrl+Shift+R).
5. The editor does not appear.

This is likely a scoping issue when searching to see if the editor is already open. The search should be limited (now) to the current perspective (which will already include the editor area itself). By limiting the search this way we should get the desired result; opening a new instance of the editor in the editor area.

Note that this means that when you switch back to the original perspective that you'll see both instances of the editor (not really different than using 'Editor->New Editor' and splitting the editor area).

This is no longer a problem.
