Description David M. Karr CLA 2020-09-17 21:41:00 EDT 
I often have "Focus on Active Task" selected, so that it only shows the projects in the package explorer that I'm paying attention to with respect to the current task.  However, I sometimes toggle it off if I need to look at other projects without changing tasks, or if I have to move things around in the package explorer (it's almost impossible to do that in FAT mode).

After installing 2020-09, I've discovered that when I turn off FAT mode, the package explorer suddenly blanks out.  There are no projects there. If I go back to FAT mode, the projects reappear, and I can click on Alt to show everything, but turning off FAT invariably blanks out the entire package explorer.

Maybe this ticket is better suited in the Mylyn Product?
Comment 2 David M. Karr CLA 2020-09-21 17:35:56 EDT 
Note that this problem occurs when I turn OFF "Focus on Active Task", so from that POV, this problem occurs when MyLyn is NOT being used.

And now, after having used this distribution for several days, this problem has seemingly gone away.  Instead of a blank view, it now shows all of my expected projects when I turn off FAT.
