Description Tracy Miranda

Build ID: M20071023-1652

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Ensure Build Automatically is turned off.
2. Create a (CDT) project in workspace
3. Get project to be deselected (I get this by pressing Esc in project explorer then clicking on task then console view)
4. Confirm that under the Project menu, the items 'Close Project' and 'Build Project' are disabled
5. Expand the project in the project explorer (without otherwise selecting it)
6. Check Project menu, this time 'Close Project' is enabled, but 'Build Project' is still disabled. 

The issue is that Build Project is often unavailable in cases where our users expect it to be enabled, including cliking on the console to look at the results of the build. Furthermore even if the project appears to be selected, i.e. it is shown in the bottom toolbar, the 'Build Project' item may still be disabled.

Not all but some of the issues are caused by bug 201650.

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.
