I have created an editor for file type X which supports drag and drop of file type Y. Here's my problem. 1. Create a file of type Y and open it in an editor. 2. Create a file of type X and open it in an editor. 3. Now try to drag your file of type Y into editor for X. Result: Editor Y is activated, making it impossible to complete the drag. Editor linking is incompatable with drag and drop. Given that this is a very common operation for most things (except java development), please turn linking off by default in the navigator and packages view. by default.
The editor linking preference has been removed in M3. However the preference controls linking from editor to Navigator. Your problem is caused by the Navigator/Package Explorer to editor linking which is always on (it was always on in Package Explorer and Navigator has been changed to match that behavior). I noticed the editor is activated when the mouse is moved and not on mouse down. We should be able to fix this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 22274 ***
