Description Michael Mangino CLA 2012-07-25 17:08:22 EDT 
Build Identifier: Version: Juno Release Build id: 20120614-1722

When so many files are being edited that all tabs cannot be shown, a double-arrow icon appears to the right of the right-most tab, along with a number indicating the number of hidden tabs. When clicking this icon, a drop-down is displayed showing all files open in that tab group. Prior to Juno, the hidden tabs' filenames appeared in bolded text in this list. However, in Juno, the hidden tabs' filenames are not bolded.

Having the hidden entries bolded is a very nice usability feature because it allows the user to easily see the groups of hidden and visible files that are open.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open enough files that some of their tabs become hidden.
2. Click on the "Show List" double-arrow icon to the right of the right-most visible file tab.
3. Note that the hidden files' names are not bolded.

I agree with this request and I also opened bug #393002 to provide an option to restore the MRU editor tabs visibility policy of Eclipse 3.x!

This problem has been bugging (no pun intended) me ever since I switched to Juno. It's especially annoying if the files either have identical names or begin with the same words: SomeJavaClassModel.java and SomeJavaClassModelEditor.java and the tab only shows "SomeJavaClass..." while the expanded list does not tell me which one I'm looking at and which one's hidden.

The bundle version was not updated in both bundles.

Verified in 4.4.0.I20130806-2000.
Comment 11 Dani Megert CLA 2013-08-12 08:53:14 EDT 
Verified in 4.4 M1.

We should revisit the usage of bold for hidden items though, see bug 70982.
