Eclipse Version: 3.3.0 Build id: I20070625-1500 Mac OS X 10.4.10 When I use the menu system, Eclipse -> Quit Eclipse, or use Command + Q, some local settings are lost. For example, when I dock my Perspective list on the top left, quit and restart, it's back on the top right. The Confirm Exit prompt also does not show up. But when I x out, the prompt appears, and the preferences are saved.
This bug seems to be a duplicate of #195073

Reopening. We should test again with tomorrow's I build but I believe this is another case where we don't save the preferences at the time they are changed.

You can still lose preference settings when you kill the Eclipse process, which this bug is about. It's just that Cmd-Q doesn't kill the process anymore :) - see bug 194146 which has been fixed in the meantime. (Exiting with Cmd-Q did not shut down Eclipse properly).
Only just now found this bug; I have been seeing this problem in Windoze XP, with Eclipse build-ID I20070621-1340. =========== One example is: Open Synch View; see two links and a check box; check the box; click one link; later on quit using ALT-F4 (equivalent to Menu -> File -> Exit, right?); on restart, still see the check box and the two links. Just now tried the same procedure, but clicked the Windows-window "X" to quit, and now upon restart the Synch View correctly populates itself. I do not find this pref in the Window -> Prefs anywhere (but it could be hiding somewhere) =========== Another possible example is: Package Explorer -> Link to editor But this setting is *always* lost (even when closing using the "X"); also I do not find this one in the Window -> Prefs. Is it even intended as a preference any more? It would persist in 3.2

Did you download 'Eclipse Classic' or 'Eclipse IDE for Java Developers'? This smells like bug 195238.
