Description Juan Cervera CLA 2003-09-01 08:34:22 EDT
In version M3, when try to edit a non-editable file, instead of showing a 
window telling that I cannot edit the file or just stoping me to do it (as 
used to happen in M2) it changes the whole view of the file to a message 
telling that the file is not editable and I cannot see again the contents of 
the file.
Not even closing the file and re-opening it again this gets fixed, I have to 
close Eclipse and start again.
