This is an odd thing to do, and this particular use case is likely not valid. But it may indicate we need to do some thinking about selection? 1) Open a couple of java classes 2) Drag the Outline into the shared area 3) Select the Outline view Notice that the view always says "An outline is not available". I'm guessing the Outline view is using the active part to determine which outline to show. But of course, in the shared area when it is displayed it is the active part.
The shared area is probably not able to provide an activeEditor since its selected child is a view MPart (well, probably a shared ref of some kind). PW

Yes, there is no active editor from the shared area because its active part is a view. That being said, if you have an editor outside the shared area and it is visible (the selected element of a part stack) and you have your 'Outline' view in the shared area, the 'Outline' view will reflect the contents of said editor that is outside the shared area. Personally I don't see an issue here.
Closing per comment 2. This is working as designed.
