Build Identifier: I20111129-2100

I updated this morning to this latest eclipse version. Since then the view show up on the same level as java files for instance (see screenshot). I'm not able to move/drag the views somewhere else or even rearrange the order of them. I checked the log and see a NullPointerException which could be the root cause for that.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start Eclipse
2. When files were opened close them all (I used shortcut)
3. all views jump up
4. open a file and it will be aligned with the views

Hi Stefan, what did your original perspective look like?

Originally. All view were at the bottom, the navigator on the left and the open java classes above. After the first restart after the update...it showed welcome dialog which was far on right and the navigator and the left. All of this was already strange because this was an existing workspace with java files opened. So I restarted eclipse again and everything seemed normal until i closed all open java files. All of a sudden the tabbed views jumped from the bottom up as if they were java classes. Then I opened a java class again and from that point on they were all aligned without being able to drag them somewhere or even rearrange them.

Stefan, I also got this problem in my Eclipse. I haven't figured out the steps yet but opened bug 365202 for it.

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.
