Description Eric Moffatt CLA 2005-11-01 15:14:20 EST
The handling of the selection here is inconsistent at best...try this:

Import / check out / create a plugin project with some extensions in it.

Open the Property View

Open the 'MANIFEST.MF' file (notice that we've lost the entry that was 
displayed when we clicked on the file in the PE)

Now, alternate between re-selecting a file in the PE (to show its properties) 
and selecting other tabs in the editor. It's somewhat indeterminate but it 
appears that if you select a 'text' oriented tab (i.e. 'build.properties'), re-
select a file in the PE and then select a tab that has already been displayed 
then the property view maintains showing the file. If its the first time that 
the editor tab has been displaye then the property sheet goes blank. (lazy 
creation issue??)

Also, until you select a text-oriented tab you'll lose the file every time you 
change tabs, even when switching between two 'populated' tabs...

Is this still a problem in 3.3?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
