Description Ondrej Chylik CLA 2004-05-05 09:04:22 EDT 
The functionality of attracting user's attention by making a hidden view's 
title bold is cool.

However I find that confusing in case when the Problems view is actually 
updated to show nothing. Seeing the bold title, I'm truly attracted to go and 
see what problems are there and then get confused that there are none.

BTW when experimenting with this "title bolding" feature, it seemed to me that 
it doesn't work 100%. My test case was: 2 java projects in workspace, one with 
compilation problems, the other with none, default layout of the PDE 
perspective, Problems view filtered by project ("any resource in the same 
project"). I've been changing the selected project in Package Explorer and 
jumping from Problems view to Error log view, all at once, various order and 
combinations. Time to time I haven't got the Problems view title bold when 
changing the selected project and the view was hidden (but when going to the 
Problems view it was showing the correct problems).

Using E3.0M8 (200403261517).

A note I forgot to add: The same also applies to the Tasks view. I can file a 
separate request if required.

No problem. We'll just change the description to say "marker views". :-)
