Description Michael Van Meekeren CLA 2004-06-02 16:57:47 EDT 
build R3.0 RC1
- open the workbench
- open two editors
- make sure there is plenty of empty space after the tab on the right of the 
last editor
- try to pop up a menu in the area on the top right of the CTabFolder

note that this will open the menu as if clicking on the tab of the active 
editor.

This should do nothing however.

Fixes bug 65441, alternative patch

This alternative patch takes in consideration that the menu listener will
always handle events that contain the (x,y) of the mouse location. It will
detect if there is an item at (x,y) and only pop-up the menu if an item is
found.

I've rolled back this change. This patch has also affected views, which is a
regression. 

For views, the region to the right of the tabs is associated with the view (it
contains the view toolbar). Right-clicking on this area is the quickest way to
create a fast view. Since this patch is intended for editors, it should go in
DefaultEditorPresentation, not DefaultPartPresentation.

An additional suggestion: many of the items on the context menu (move stack,
size, minimize, maximize, close all) apply to the stack itself and not an
individual tab. These items should still be accessable when clicking to the
right of the tabs.

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.
