Description Davor Cubranic CLA 2004-06-16 15:54:15 EDT 
(Eclipse 3.0 RC2)

The editor list dropdown sometimes cannot select the top editor in the list.
This happens for me when there are two editors whose tabs are hidden (so they're
displayed at the top of the list in bold). If I move the mouse over the top one
from the right side, it is not selected and clicks on it are not recognized. I
have to move the mouse some more to the left. This may be an interaction with
bug 67512, because it looks like I have to move the mouse up to the point where
the name would get truncated as described in that bug.

Cannot replicate in 20040616.
Comment 2 Michael Van Meekeren CLA 2004-07-06 14:27:15 EDT 
marking fixed, as tod could not recreate
Comment 3 Davor Cubranic CLA 2004-07-07 13:52:55 EDT 
This is still there in 3.0 (200406251208). But it does show itself only if you
move the mouse over from the right side, like I described in the initial
submission. I'm attaching two screenshots that illustrate the bug and how to
recreate it.

Setting up for the bug

This screenshot shows the initial editor list dropdown and the path I take with
the mouse pointer to recreate the bug. Click where the red arrow is.

Editor dropdown after the mouse click

This shows the dropdown after I clicked the mouse. The editor name "shrinks",
and the editor is not activated.

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.
