Build Identifier: On windows "Open with In-Place Editor" will use editors from the system. However, if the system cannot supply an editor the response is an error dialog (see attached ping), which is fine. However, that error dialog only has an OK button, and using that Eclipse will bring up an editor area that cannot be used. The title indicates the file name, but that's it. One has to close the editor and open the file some other way. I suggest a different behavior: - On error, close the editor area, - On error, have a way to "Open in" with a combo box defaulting to "Text editor" or something. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Windows: create a project, create a file x.doesnotexist 2. Right-click on the new file, Open with -> In-Place Editor 3. See the error message, click OK\ 4. Try to use the broken editor

CQ:WIND00187374 Not opening an editor at all would seem more appropriate than opening an empty unusable editor frame.
