1. eclipse with a dirty editor 2. minimize eclipse to the Windows taskbar, 3. right-click on eclipse' task in the taskbar and select "Close" 4. eclipse does not restore and appears to hang due to the "save resources" dialog which does not show up 5. if you hit <enter> or <esc> eclipse behaves as normal - without display however --> eclipse should restore its position when the user closes the application from the taskbar, so it can show messages and dialogs.
Tom, I'm having trouble reproducing this. I'm using integration build I20030422. I've tried it with a flat text file (no extra processing such as a build required when you save this file) and on a java file (build triggered on the save). In both cases, when I went to the task bar and selected 'close' on the Eclipse task, the 'save resources' dialog did show up. Are you using the stable 2.1 release or a subsequent build? Is there anything in the .log file?
- its build 200304221030 (haven't checked with the newest integration build yet) - nothing in the log I assume the "save resources" dialog does "show up" (it does if eclipse is not minimized, and it does react to user input even if not), but since it is modal relative to the main window, which is minimized, nothing is shown. I am using a Matrox Millenium G450 Dual Head graphics adapter with two monitors attached, and the driver does some special maximize and window placement stuff, which might be an issue. However on a quick test with just one monitor, it showed the same behaviour.
Tom, can you run Eclipse in a self-hosting mode? If so, could you try: - run your target eclipse under debug - set a breakpoint in org.eclipse.jface.Dialog.getInitialBounds() - step through the getInitialSize() and getInitialLocation() methods - see if there are any unexpected values (e.g. 0 or -1 for size, or coordinates that exceed the display bounds)
Debbie, I have stepped thru Window.initializeBounds() (I assume that's what you meant?), but all values were correct and the same as if the eclipse is not minimized. But: I just checked and found out that all other Windows applications show the same behaviour (including Notepad and MS Word), so I guess it's either Win 2000 or dual head related, or both. Propose to resolve as OS bug.
Resolving as per your suggestion. Thanks.
Marking as verified. This appears to be a bug not related to Eclipse.
