A view that is shared by two perspectives is defined as a normal view in one perspective P1 and as a fast view in another perspective P2.
When switching from P1 to P2 the fast view is disappearing.

The bug is also described in the forum thread

http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/282503/

and a possible solution is provided.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two perspectives with a shared view.

public class P1 implements IPerspectiveFactory {
  public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {
    layout.addView(IPageLayout.ID_OUTLINE, IPageLayout.LEFT, 0.3f,
        layout.getEditorArea());
  }
}

public class P2 implements IPerspectiveFactory {
  public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {
    layout.addFastView(IPageLayout.ID_OUTLINE);
  }
}

2. Open P1 and afterwards P2.

3. The view disappears completely from P1 but is correctly handled as
   a fast view in P2.
