In a view with Packages, Types, and Members windows, a selection of the 
package in the Packages window should change the list of Types/Classes in the 
Types window.  

However, the list of Types does update, but only if the list of Types gets 
longer, and only the Types that are "extra".  

Example:  If select package1, and it has 3 types type1, type2, and type3, it 
works fine.
If I then select package2 with type 5-10, then I would get a list like:
type1
type2
type3
type8
type9
type10
If I double-click "type1", what actually opens is type5.  Very strange.

This is a similar bug to #49832, but I think it is slightly different.  It all 
started when I selected to open a project in a new window.  I have not opened 
that new window again for a long time, and the problem persists.  Is there a 
way to reverse this situation.  I have already tried deleting my entire 
workspace folder and trying over (although perhaps I had some .project files 
in other places when I reopened my projects).  

This is very annoying.  I never saw this behavior with V3-M8/M9 or V2. 

I love eclipse!!! and I would love to have it work just a bit better in this 
regard.  Even with this annoyance, eclipse is by far the greatest IDE i've 
ever used.

Perhaps as a simple solution for when a direct or automatic checkout fails, 
then the fallback would be to bring up the cleardlg interface for a checkout 
before failing to the user.  That way the user isn't contantly bothered by 
that window, but if they need to use it, its there.

A reset perspective will fix this up as it is a labelling issue.
