Mail Demo

RCP Applications often utilize secondary views to mimic Editors pinned to a certain perspective instead of sharing them between multiple ones.

It looks like such MParts are not removed when closed and so the delta grows with ever open and close operation. You can easily reproduce this with the RCP-Mail which uses a secondary view

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
