If you close the primary console (if you remember which one that is :-) ), Alt- Shift-Q, C will open a new console instead of going to one of the previously opened secondary consoles. This seems somewhat strange to me.
This is because the open view action/shortcuts are based on view ids. Since the view ids for secondary consoles are different, another one is opened. Not much we can do about this. Currently marking as later (not critical).
Window/Show View does the same thing. Workbench controls these actions.
Moving to UI for consideration.
When a show view command is invoked, it should likely show any view with the same primary id before opening a new view (i.e. ignore secondary id?).
Can you clarify the notion of primary vs. secondary consoles, and explain how the console uses secondary ids? I'm not aware of how the console uses multi-instance views (and are there other places in Debug where these are used?) It's unclear to me that showing any other instance is what users expect. I think it depends on the scenario. E.g. LWP uses multi-instance views to show documents, so picking one at random is probably not what they would want. Maybe you could spec out in detail how you'd like the multi-instance view scenario to work from an end-user's perspective.
Reassigning bugs in component areas that are changing ownership.
Remy is now responsible for watching the [ViewMgmt] category.
Prakash, I noticed you fixed bug 221172. The use case here isn't covered by your recent changes.
Will investigate this.
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.
