I've just committed a major change in
how min/max works in eclipse. This is available through a switch to the
"3.3 Presentation (Experimental)" under Preferences -> Appearance...
Platform UI expects to make this presentation
the default at the end of M6 so this is a call to all 'dev' folks to start
using it so that it's initial issues can be found by 'friendly eyes' before
unleashing it on the unsuspecting public. Note that the latest version
will only be available as of tomorrow's build (N20070301-0100) so if you're
currently using the new presentation please get the newest
version when convenient.
NOTE: There is a known issue with the
Intro page so I'd suggest closing it before switching the Presentation.
Also it would likely be best to have your perspectrive's in a state where
there are no currently maximized or minimized stacks when switching (this
is especially true for people who are -already- using the 3.3 Presentation
since the persistent state format has changed...).
Bug 153957 is the repository of known
issues (they're marked as 'blocking' it) so if you want brownie points
you could mark any defects you open against the new behavior as blocking
it as well which would help me immensely.
