Description Thomas . CLA 2010-09-03 07:14:52 EDT
Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

When I try to setup a project similar to a recent one, I select "Export Settings..." from the "C/C++ General | Paths and Symbols" property page, "Includes" tab.
Then I use "Import Settings..." of the same property page & tab of the new project (which is in an also new workspace), the import the settings I've exported before.

First Error:
When I click "Import...", an import wizard opens. After selecting the settings file and clicking "Finish" (the only optoin to continue), not only the import wizard window closes, but also the "Project Properties" window. 

Second Error:
When I the re-open the project properties window, the window is resized and re-positioned in a way I cannot understand. 

Third Error:
The imported paths and symbols are there, but after "Finishing" the import wizard I would have expected to be required to confirm the updates in the project properties made by the import. THis is not the case.

Fourth Error:
Now it happens for those path entries, which are flagged as "Is a workspace path", that this flag is lost after the import. The flag also is removed from those entries that have been in the list before the import.

Fifth Error:
When I then use the "Edit..." button set re-enable the "Is a workspace path" flag and confirm it with "OK", the edited entry of the "Include directories" list is moved down to the end of the list.

Reproducible: Always
