For a multi-page editor, when there are too many tabs, the least-used ones are placed in a drop-down list widget. If a tab that is relegated to the drop-down list begins with the "-" character, a divider appears in the drop-down list instead of the name of the tab. The tab's name thus cannot be clicked while in the list. I assume that this is unexpected behavior resulting from the behavior of the list widget. It's not documented in MultiPageEditorPart.setPageText(). I'm running OS X 10.4.7 with java 1.5.0_06. To recreate the problem, create a multi-page editor plugin. Then alter the auto-generated code to change the names of the pages in the calls to setPageText to something like "-foo". Then run the plugin and resize the Eclipse window to force one of the tabs on to the drop-down list.
Is this still a problem in 3.3? PW
It is in I20060810-1230.
BTW, I think that the divider behavior is what happens if there's anything unexpected with the name. I forget the exact details, but I saw the divider recently for another mal-formed name that didn't begin with "-".

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.
