Description Darin Wright CLA 2010-05-18 12:29:48 EDT 
3.6 RC1

The 'Restore Defaults' button should either clear all preferred delegate setttings or be removed.

The fix could be difficult.  We would need to either add an API so that the preference page can reset preferences in the configuration type objects and in the LaunchManager, or we could refactor the preferred delegate logic to always read from the preference store.

Nothing needs to be done for 3.6

Feels to me like pressing the defaults button should remove all preferred delegates - which could be done as simply as deleting the LaunchManager.PREF_PREFERRED_DELEGATES preference, then make LaunchManager a pref listener and have it clear the delegate mapping when that preference is deleted.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
