Description Moritz Aleithe

We are seeing an issue where sometimes the JUnit Consoles (the output written during a JUnit test in the "Console" view) is lost after the Console was not the active Part. This happens in Neon and I think I've already seen it in Oxygen as well. 
Usually this is
Run Test -> 
Work on Something ->
Go Back To Console ->
Output is gone. This is especially annoying if the Test takes several Minutes to run.

Hard to tackle this one without steps to reproduce...

I am currently on collecting more information about when exactly this happens and willing to share, but it seems to be quite random

I think this happens if anything uses a console view in the meantime, but I'm not 100% sure. 

Our favorite would be if the last JUnit Test console would be kept, until 

a.) we close Eclipse
b.) we run another Test
c.) the console is deleted manually

I changed the ticket importance to "enhancement", since I think the current behavior is not precisely a bug.
