In JDT after renaming a class if you try to go back (i.e. press Alt+Left) and the previous cursor position is in the same file Eclipse will attempt to open the file under the old name and show a blank view with message "File {OLD_FILE_NAME} does not exist.", where {OLD_FILE_NAME} is the old name of the file that was renamed. NOTE: the file name is renamed simultaneously with the class name which is good. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a class, e.g. Aaaa. 2. Type in some (compilable) code. 3. Make sure that Alt+Left sends you to a line within class Aaaa, not some other file. Type more until this condition is satisfied. 4. Return to the latest position using Alt+Right. 5. Save it. 6. Rename the class, e.g. to Bbbb, by putting the cursor at the class declaration and pressing Alt+Shift+R. 7. Press Alt+Left. Expected: Regular "Back" functionality within the file Bbbb.java. After all it's the same file/class just renamed. Actual: Attempts to go back into file Aaaa.java which does not exist. Possible solution: Sync the "Back/Forward" history with refactorings that include renaming, moving, deleting files.
