Bug 249559

Description Nick Chiu 2008-10-02 20:07:01 EDT

Build ID: I20080617-2000

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Open a file (lets call it file A)
2. Open another file (lets call it file B), this will be our most recently used editor
3. Now put the focus on a view like Console or Error log
4. Restart eclipse
5. Notice now that the editor opened is file A but should be file B which was our most recently used editor


More information:
I have a custom application that uses the Eclipse SDK and GEF where opening files could take a very long time. What I found was this bug could open 2 files at once which is a problem for me because of performance issues when opening a large file.

I noticed in the eclipse code that it does open the most recently used editor but also the first opened editor as well if the focus was away from the editor when closing eclipse and restarting.

It looks like their is an activation ordering problem where it should be the most recently used editor and not the first opened editor. So having the focus away from the editors like to Outline or Console view and restarting eclipse will open:

1. the most recently used editor and
2. the first editor opened in the previous session
