Description Max Gilead CLA 2005-03-06 12:43:50 EST
When viewing two files at once user can, by double-clicking on its title, switch
it to full-window. After doing it it's impossible to easily switch to files
edited in the other list. User has to double-click on file title and again
double-click on a file from the other list.

I propose that, when file is viewed in full-window mode, opened files list --
file tabs -- show all opened files, regardless of where they were shown in
two-file editing mode.

Remy is now responsible for watching the [EditorMgmt] component area.

Max, is this still a problem? The default presentation was altered in 3.3 and the min/max behaviour of editors has altered slightly. Thanks.
Comment 5 Max Gilead CLA 2009-11-18 04:23:31 EST
Remy, maximizing editor views doesn't work in new presentation at all (context menu entry is disabled) so the point is moot with regard to it. That's one of the reasons I'm still using the Classic presentation.

I think I misunderstood the original problem then...

When you say viewing two files at once, you mean having two in one stack or having two side by side each in its own stack? To be clear, by stack I mean "tab folder".
Comment 7 Remy Suen CLA 2009-11-18 06:23:23 EST
Also, by maximizing, we're just talking about hitting Ctrl+M and making the part's stack take up the entire space of the Eclipse workbench, correct?
Comment 8 Max Gilead CLA 2009-11-18 09:51:35 EST
I'm sorry Remy, this description may be confusing indeed :) Yes, I meant opening two editor views (two stacks) side-by-side, then hitting Ctrl+M (or double-clicking on tab title) to maximize one editor.
Comment 9 Remy Suen CLA 2009-11-18 10:43:46 EST
One can switch to the other stack of editors using Ctrl+(Shift+)F6 but that seems to unminimize the editor area and then you need to Ctrl+M again. :(

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.
