I understand that there's been discussion in the past about whether or not to include task editors in the context editor memento, but it seems that it would at least make sense to include the editor of the active task in its own memento if it's open. If I am in the middle of writing a comment on a task when I deactivate it, it would be nice for the task editor to be opened again when I activate the task again.
Sounds reasonable.You can also press shift during task activation to open the task editor of the activated task on activation.
Let's see if we can resolve this in 3.10.
Postponing since there's a simple workaround mentioned in comment 1.
This appears to be a regression. * activate a task * open the task editor * deactivate the task * activate the task * the task editor is not reopened This is caused by a bug in ContextStateManager which sets the context handle of the ContextState to "UTF-8" when saving it. This bogus handle is then passed to closeContextAwareEditors which closes the active task editor, preventing it from being added to the editor memento.
I think the only other significant affect of this bug is that the workaround in EditorStateParticipant.saveState(ContextState, boolean) to "retain the state in case editor save/restore fails on e4" was never getting invoked.
Fixed with https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/47933/. Thanks very much for the contribution, Chris!
