Description Nick Edgar CLA 2004-09-22 16:45:24 EDT 
build I20040921-2000

- open Java and Debug perspectives
- configure the perspective bar to be at top left
- arrange them so that Java is first, Debug second
- open CVS perspective
- the resulting order is CVS, Java, Debug
- I would expect Java, Debug, CVS

I think it should always add to the right (or bottom if vertical), regardless of
location of the perspective bar.  It's just more glaring when there's lots of
space to the right.

If there is insufficient space, it should hide the least recently used items
until there is enough room.  The selected item should always be shown, clipped
if necessary.

The editor and view tabs have been fixed up recently to work this way, with
support added to CTabFolder for managing this purely as a visibility thing (the
actual list of items and their order in CTabFolder is unchanged).
See bug 72217.

The suggested handling is implemented in Eclipse Mars.
