Using the RCP browser example I was able to drag the view away from the RCP 
window to get a detached view.  The perspective was declared as fixed, so this 
should not be possible.

Also, I was not able to reattach the view by dragging it back to the window.

The system menu -> move -> tab group is still enabled, which appears to be the 
same problem.  The move -> view is disabled, and I wasn't able to move it by 
clicking on the active tab, just the tab area background.

This on is critical for LWP for M8.  Either that or we need a global preference
(no UI for it necessary) to disable detached views.

More strange behaviour that I think is related to this.  In a fresh IDE I'm able 
to grab the empty editor area and drag it around.  For most locations, the 
cursor is a "don't do it" circle but it does change to an arrow (and the empty 
editor area boundary changes size) when I get close to the edge of some view.

I would expect dragging an empty editor area to have the same behaviour as 
trying to drag the status line (for example) -- i.e., nothing happens.

The editor area thing is unrelated to fixed views. I believe it has already been
fixed.

Fixed in head

Note: a folder is considered fixed if it is in a fixed perspective. To prevent
this from happening, you must be using a fixed perspective.
