Description
DJ Houghton
Note you get similar behaviour if: - close all editors - open an editor on a file - using the Sync view open a Compare editor on the same file - give the Compare editor focus - click in the Package Explorer (single, double, triple, whatever) - note that the Compare editor gets focus and the real editor does not. (In reply to comment #0) > build i0224-2000 > > - I have "open on single click" selected > - close all editors > - select something in the Sync view to open a Compare editor > - note the editor does not have focus Just to be clear not having focus also happens on 3.x and seems to be the expected behaviour. Yep, that part is fine by me. I just wanted to call it out as something explicit in case it is related to the editor not opening. After some investigations, I am inclined to believe that this is due to how JDT handles open requests for editors. If you perform the steps from comment 0 and comment 1 with non-Java files, another editor will be spawned correctly. You can also try to use the 'Navigator' view instead of the 'Package Explorer' view and you will see that a new editor is opened instead of leaving the active editor as the compare editor. The trace below is the 3.x trace. You can see in EditorUtility's openInEditor(Object, boolean) that it will check if the editor shares the same ICompilationUnit as what's being opened before opening a new editor.

I hadn't noticed the difference in behaviour between Java and non-Java files. I'll move this to JDT. I still believe if I click on a file in the Package Explorer then I should be able to open an editor on it. This was done on purpose after we beefed up the Java compare editor with most of the editor features. We also added 'Open' and 'Open With' to the context menu so that one can go easily to the Java editor if needed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 277697 *** |
