Description Randy Hudson CLA 2003-10-22 12:02:19 EDT 
When you change the
filter
preference for the
Tasks View
only that instance of the view is updated.  If you work in multiple workbench 
windows, instances of that view in other windows are not updated.  This causes 
two problems.  First, to update all instances of the view, I must change each 
one separately.  This is strange penalty for using the "Open a new perspective: 
in a new window" option.  If you open all perspectives in the same window, the 
same instance is used, so you don't have this problem.

The second problem is that instances can have different settings, so it is 
unclear which settings to use when opening yet another window containing the 
view.  If all views were kept in sync, then it is clear which settings would be 
applied to the new window.
