This is a recent happening...now if I close a perspective I get an NPE and the client area is blank. It turns out that this was choking on the LSR code for clearing out the current TB in a stack that is being shown (i.e. the NPE happens because I closed the Debug perspective and the Java perspective also has a visible 'Outline' view. This is most likely the result of changing the code last week to ensure that view tb's 'never' get disposed.
Created attachment 174095 [details] Patch to safe up the switching code
Committed in >20100712. Applied the patch. I still have to track down why/how the TB is getting disposed in the first place...current theory is that when I close the perspective its Composite gets disposed (which will cause any visible ToolBar in the TopRight of a CTF to be disposed. We have code that is supposed to 'unhook' shared parts that should be taking care of this...
