opening a file from package explorer does not transfer the focus to the newly opened editor. one has explicitely click into the editor.
The behaviour depends on the Open mode: - single click open mode: focus is not transferred - double click open mode: focus is transferred This is by design and I tested it under Windows XP and it works as expected. Tom, can you please double check under Linux and if it works that way close the PR.
tried, but even doubleclick does not transfer focus (maybe the second click is ignored already? is the desktopmanager involved or is it plain eclipse?). > This is by design what's the meaning behind that?
pressing enter does not transfer the focus pressing f3 does not "rmc->open" does not "rmc->open with->java editor" _does_
Works as described in comment 1 (except for the plugin.xml editor which always takes the focus itself).
Closing as works for me - if you still see this (comment 3) please reopen with more info about your window manager and exact steps to reproduce.
> Works as described in comment 1 did you test in linux/gtk? for me it still does not work. kde 3.4.1, eclipse linux/gtk. both single click to open and double click to open for the desktop environment do solve the issue. reproduction steps are easy: left click on an entry in the package-explorer. press arrow down, see the selection inside the package explorer go down. left double click on an entry in the package-explorer. press arrow down, see the selection inside the package explorer go down. the distinction between single click/double click behaviour seems at least for unices not usable -- traditionally unix-windowmanagers use single click where windows uses double click. seems to me to be a bug in the (at least) gtk-implementation.
The meaning behind is that if open mode is single click tranfering focus to the editor would make it hard to select some elements and then open the context menu. This behaviour should be consistent this way in Eclipse. I retested it again under Linix/GTK and the behaviour is as described in comment one. If you want to use Double Click for opening then you have to change the Open mode under Preferences->General to Double click. What can be considered a bug is the fact that when double clicking even when in single click mode the editor should become focus. However the OpenListener provided by JFace doesn't allow to detect this (e.g. the event doesn't have the information whether the user did a double or single click). Moving to Platform/UI to add this information to the OpenEvent so that viewers could make use of it.
well, yes. now i changed to "doubleclick" in preferences it's more like it.
Changing description to describe the actual problem.
