Build Identifier: 20100917-0705 I often have multiple editors open with the same filename. Most often because i have the same Java type open in different projects, but it might also be Java types with the same simple name but different package names. When switching between editors with "Next Editor" or "Quick Switch Editor", the list then shows multiple identical entries. RFE: Please make editor names unambiguous. For example, append the same path info as in command "Switch to editor"'s 2nd column (e.g. "App.java (TestProj/src/pack1/App.java)". The file basename should stay at the beginning, so that "Quick Switch Editor" filtering by typing the first few characters still works as it does now. Thanks! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a Java project with classes pack1.App and pack2.App. 2. Open both classes in the editor. 3. Open any other file in the editor. 4. Try to switch to class pack1.App using command "Next Editor" or "Quick Switch Editor". You have to guess which of the two "App.java" entries it is (or remember which one is the most recently used).
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.
As of eclipse.buildId 4.10.0.I20181206-0815, this issue is fixed for "Quick Switch Editor", but not for "Next Editor".
