Description Stefan Xenos CLA 2005-02-16 17:04:48 EST 
Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor

This preference page contains chevrons for minimizing a set of preferences.
However, whenever a new set of preferences is revealed, any previously-revealed
preferences are hidden. 

This is inconsistent with other preference pages that support hiding of
preferences (such as Java -> Compiler). It is also inconsistent with other
similar UI metaphors in Eclipse and native widgets (such as view minimizing,
tree expansion, etc.)

This also applies to the Java -> Editor -> Code Assist page

Yes, it is planed to remove the auto-hide feature again.
