Description Marc Khouzam

If I have focus on a compare editor of a file, and I double-click on the file in the project explorer, the file does not open.

To reproduce:
- right-click on file <myfile> and choose "compare with->Git index"
- have focus on the newly opened compare editor
- double-click on <myfile> in the project explorer.
-> You will notice that the file does not open.
If I set the focus on any other editor (even another compare editor), I can double-click on the file and it will open.

I tried this on Windows Vista with the tutorial at EclipseCon with 3.6M5.

Thanks

This seems to be built into the JDT org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.OpenAction; not sure how much we as EGit can do here...

You are right, the same things happens with CVS.
What do you think, is this a bug?  I seemed like a but to me, but since it's been there for a while, maybe it is a behavior people want?

So, I can either close this bug, or move it to JDT, depending on if you also feel it is a bug.

This seems to be a standard behaviour of eclipse: If there is already an editor open for a resource double clicking does not open another one. But you can open a new Java editor if you use Open With -> Java Editor.
