Doesn't the editor restore on task activation open the last edit location?

Comment 2 Sam Davis 2012-02-01 19:46:27 EST

Maybe, but that doesn't solve my problem :) which is that I switch tasks, poke around a bit, and then hit Ctrl+Q expecting to go back to that spot and am instead taken somewhere relating to whatever task I was doing previously, polluting my context.

I see. We would need to switch the edit location history on task activation. Is this the same as or similar to bug 297445?

Comment 4 Sam Davis 2012-02-02 02:22:06 EST

Yes, I suppose it is similar to that, but not the same because last edit location is separate from history. But I guess one could make the same argument as made on that bug, that it's useful to be able to go back to the last edit location independent of task context, and I probably make use of that myself. Perhaps the default behaviour should be for history and last edit location to be focussed on the active task, but there should also be some way (e.g. a modifier key) of getting at the global history and last edit location.

I'll mark this as a duplicate since it's very similar conceptually and the summary of the bug explicitly lists the last edit location history. Please feel free to add additional requirements to bug 297445 that are not covered, yet.
