[news.eclipse.platform] Re: How to bring to top without activating?

[Paul Webster <pwebster@xxxxxxxxxx>]

AFAIK that is design intent ... being an IDE and activating and editor 
(where the active part was the active editor) will force it to the top.

To be honest we very rarely touch that kind of behaviour (presentation 
order of events, etc) these days.  I think it would be hard to 
distinguish between "just the active editor" which activates and sets 
focus and "bring to the top but don't set focus when the active editor 
had focus" ... that's a tangled set of events :-)

Later,
PW
