Description Tod Creasey CLA 2007-03-20 15:54:35 EDT 
Views with errors are opening error dialogs and then opening a view with empty contents.

In previos releases we did not bring up the error dialog - we should be consistent with this behaviour.

Also the empty view should give some indication that it is empty because an error has occured

Comment 2 Tod Creasey CLA 2007-05-07 15:26:11 EDT 
We should have some text in views and editors that indicates that the user should look to the error reporting for the details. We can't refer to our implementation as it may be overridden.

Perhaps something like "Error opening the editor. See the error message for details".

Right now there is no link between the editor part and the error dialog from the user's perspective.

See Bug 185838 for an editors use case.
