Thanks for the response, but it didn't change the behaviour and 
running with the context tracing turned on didn't generate any
output.

The extension now reads:
      <context
            name="%scope.cEditor.name"
            parentId="org.eclipse.ui.textEditorScope"
            description="%cEditor.description"
            id="org.eclipse.cdt.ui.cEditorScope">
      </context>

Can I also get an answer to the basic question of "should I have to be 
hard coding" multiple inheritances in my editor or should it all be
resolved using the extension points.  I'm assuming that from your response
it should be inheriting the values from the extension point.

Also ... how come this <scope to <context extention point change
has not been documented as part of the 3.0 editor migration (the extension 
point information still says since 2.1 and the code examples all still 
use <scope)  Is the plan to deprecate <scope in favour of <context?  Are 
all of the other references to scope (ie in the commands) also going to 
be deprecated and changed to context?  What about parent vs parentId in
the extention point description?

Just trying to plan my future here.

Thanks for any help you can provide,
 Thomas
