I'm reusing the Eclipse Show View dialog UI in a RCP application. http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fruntime_registry.htm ContributionItemFactory.VIEWS_SHORTLIST.create(window); My RCP application is based on Eclipse 3 plugins. Since Eclipse 4.5.0 Mars the dialog logic is broken for me because the dialog now seems to open a new instance of the view, e.g., in another perspective. Before in Eclipse 4.4.2 the same view (instance of the view) was reopened. If I open the view with the id programmatically everything is working fine: IWorkbenchPage page = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage(); page.showView(id); I think this changed behaviour could also break the application logic of many other RCP based products if they expect the same instance of the view.
Marcel, that was a nice description, but I'm going to ask you more: Could you please provide a minimal workspace showing the error; a stack trace or the steps to reproduce? Many thanks!
Lowering severity to major. Is this bug still actual ?
(In reply to Patrik Suzzi from comment #2) > Lowering severity to major. > > Is this bug still actual ? Dear Patrik, it's been a while that I read this bug report. So sorry for the late reply. However it seems that in the meantime the bug was resolved. I tried it recently on Windows 10 with Eclipse 3.6 RC2 and it worked as expected so far.
Sounds like a dupe of bug 471782 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 471782 ***
