I start up eclipse in the java perspective, and then use F11 to debug an app.  The first time it hits a breakpoint it switches to the Debug perspective and the Breakpoints view is visible, but has no content.

Clicking on the tab makes the content appear.

From  then on, it is fine.

Easily reproducible using 4.2 I20120527-1900.

The problem seems to be that we are no longer getting a partVisible event for a view that is visible on the top of part stack but does not have focus.

See DebugViewPartListener (which implements IPartListener2) in AbstractDebugView for how debug tries to set the input for a view.

partVisible events are also not sent for the Outline or Console view (both visible but not selected) in my debug perspective, after the initial switch.

The patch attached to bug 385282 works around this issue and causes the view to have content after you switch perspectives.

We think this might be fixed by bug 384068

It does indeed seem to be fixed now, thanks Paul !!

Tested by having the following setup:

Both Java and Debug persps open with the Breakpoints view on top but the Java persp active.

Have a breakpoint set somewhere it'll get hit on startup

Restart (so the Debug perspective hasn't been rendered)

Run an inner, BP gets hit switch to Debug perspective
