The debugger's view management automatically opens and closes views based on the "debug context". A view can be specified to "auto-close" via the debug's viewBinding extension point. Views that are manually opened by the user are not closed. However, we cannot tell if the view was open by default when the perspective was created.

It would be useful to have API to retrieve the default views in a perspective (perhaps via its IPerspectiveDescriptor?).

I realize it is too late for 3.2. For now, the debugger keeps track of its "default" views in the debug perspective in a hard-coded collection.

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.
