Description Daniel Krügler CLA 2004-08-26 02:46:56 EDT 
The corresponding effects clause says:
"This action maintains its enablement state."

To my opinion this is not true. A simple RCP program which just adds
ActionFactory.RESET_PERSPECTIVE into the global menu gets not the assumed
behaviour (its always disabled). Instead one has to additionally add two
listener, IPageListener, and IPerspectiveListener, where enablement has to be
coded manually (see WorkbenchActionBuilder implementation).

Recommended resolution: Registration of these listeners should be done by the
implementing class ResetPerspectiveAction itself to provide the promised effects.

Reassigning bugs in component areas that are changing ownership.

Prakash is now responsible for watching bugs in the [RCP] component area.
Comment 3 Prakash Rangaraj CLA 2010-09-30 05:48:08 EDT 
This doesn't happen in HEAD. Could possibly be fixed by some other bug (most probably by Bug# 270007 comment# 12)
