I have a GMF editor to which I want to add a SelectionListener. addSelectionListener(ISelectionListener listener)works as expected. When using addSelectionListener(String partId, ISelectionListener listener) my SelectionListener only reacts if the diagram was not open when eclipse starts. In this case I have to close and open the diagram to get things working. If I use a NullSelectionListener this one is only called when the diagram is closed but not on selection changes. Here again I have to close and open the diagram.

Reproducible: Always
