Bug 72253

Comment 1 Nikolay Metchev 2004-08-24 06:52:09 EDT

not only minimize should be enable but also maximization. This is useful if you 
have more than one monitor.

Comment 2 Stefan Xenos 2005-05-26 03:34:49 EDT

Fixed both the minimize and maximize issues in the patch for bug 58003.

Comment 3 Tod Creasey 2005-05-27 14:19:35 EDT

Comment 4 Nikolay Metchev 2005-06-01 08:48:25 EDT

on windows XP this functionality is only available through right clicking on the
title bar and selecting minimize/maximise in the popup menu that shows. The only
button in the top right of the window that is available is close. Was this
intentional and can the minimize/maximise buttons be added?

Comment 5 Stefan Xenos 2005-06-01 14:15:44 EDT

The buttons are provided by the OS. We set the flag that asks SWT for the
minimize affordance, and (presumably) SWT passes it on to the OS. I suspect that
you'd need to ask Microsoft for that enhancement.

Comment 6 Stefan Xenos 2005-06-03 17:54:41 EDT

Reopening. This enhancement was rolled back due to feedback from RC1.

Comment 7 Nikolay Metchev 2005-06-13 08:44:40 EDT

It seems that the feature wasn't removed completely in eclipse 3.1RC2. It is
still possible to maximize (but not minimize). Also if you try and dock an
editor window onto the detached view then the whole thing goes haywire. There is
even a stack trace:

Comment 8 Stefan Xenos 2005-06-13 15:58:43 EDT

The maximize feature was kept intentionally. Minimize was removed because
removing the shell title made it impossible to tell which view was minimized.
The CCE is a bug that should be addressed for RC3.

Comment 9 Nikolay Metchev 2005-06-27 06:42:51 EDT

The CCE is still present in eclipse 3.1RC4
