Outline view for Task editor should include all editor tabs (including sections from Planning tab and the Browser tab). See Eclipse UI guideleines at: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/User_Interface_Guidelines#Editor_and_Outline_View_Interaction That would also help to navigate between tabs.
Yes, we should definitely be following that convention, I just noticed it a couple of weeks ago. If anyone wants to contribute we should be able to apply this for 1.0.
BTW, if someone will be looking at this, can we also make sure that single click or keyboard actions such as Up/Down in Outline view does not cause jumping into the editor (you should see it when Bugzilla page is active).
Not for 1.0.

The outline is something that I struggled with when refactoring the editor. Current the content of the outline is based on the structure of the task but it does not necessarily represent the structure or content of the editor. To address that and resolve this bug some editor tabs will need a way to contribute to the outline model. In addition the outline could have task information that is not represented in the task editor but links to other resources / tasks: bug 165859 .
Not including info from all UI tabs is violating UI guidelines as it mentioned in description on this bug, so I'd think it is critical, maybe trough some kind of outline model contribution and an aggregating outline content provider. Though I am not sure if it is a good idea to show something in the outline that is not visible in the editor.
Need to defer to 3.1 due to time constraints. Unless an API for outline contributions is proposed the task editor will be missing an outline for 3.0.
(In reply to comment #7) > Unless an API for outline contributions is proposed the task > editor will be missing an outline for 3.0. it is sound like a regression then. Outline is really essential for navigation in the task editor that has large number of comments, especially because scrolling is not working quite well in that case.
Steffen: afaik a significant number of users rely on the Outline to navigate contents. During tomorrow's call let's discuss what to do about this.
As per conference call we will implement a simple solutions that allows editor pages to provide an outline page (bug 233079) and investigate a more extensible solution in the future.

Steffen, any idea when you plan to implement that feature?
This item is currently not part of the release plan. I would be happy to review a contribution if this was implemented by the community.
Now as there are more sections in the view, this is getting even more useful.
Since we deliberately inlined all task editor contents into a single tab, I have udpated the summary accordingly. While I'm not sure how high the priority of this is until we provide a quick outline (bug 278102), I think that this is important from a modularity point of view. Any time that a new task editor section appears, we should have a corresponding section aoppear in the outline. For the time being I think that the only section that needs children is Comments.
