Description Keith W. Campbell CLA 2010-08-04 14:54:34 EDT 
Build Identifier: helios

The preference 'Build configurations only when there are Eclipse resource changes within the project and its references' in the 'C/C++' group is reset (disabled) every time a workspace is restarted.

This preference was introduced for bug 219337.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I downloaded the CDT package for Win32 from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers/heliosr.

In a new workspace, I enabled the preference 'Build configurations only when there are Eclipse resource changes within the project and its references' in the 'C/C++' group.

After restarting the workspace that preference is lost.

Worse, if you enable it, it doesn't take effect unless you press 'Apply' twice (or more), or press 'Apply' and then 'OK'.
