Description alan flisch CLA 2004-10-12 09:43:11 EDT
After opening a project in a new window and then closing the original window,
before closing the second window (consequently shutting down eclipse), the next
time you start up eclipse, the text in the title bar alway reads the project
name of the project that was originally opened.  This persists even after
closing that project and opening others.
The workaround is to open a new Window (Window > New Window) and then close the
window with the misleading title bar text first.

I'm sorry, I can't understand how to reproduce this based on your description. Can you please provide specific steps to cause the failure?

Open two projects say P1 and P2.
Right click on  the P2 project and open in new window.
Close original window.
Close new Window (shutting down Eclipse).
Restart Eclipse.  This opens as the P2 specific window with the title bar reflecting this.
CLick on the "up?" button on the package explorer toolbar to see all projects.
Close P2 just leaving P1 open.
Title bar still says P2 despite it not being open.  You can restart eclipse and the problem still persists.

This is still a problem on 3.2.2

Ah. Got it, thanks.

This bug is low priority for us, but we would take a patch if someone in the community wants to give it a try.

Adding Kevin and Kim so they see this use case. We need to understand how popular the old "focus in" behavior was versus the use of working sets.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
