Summary:	Source Editor grey when split and maximized

Description John Jullion-ceccarelli 2004-03-30 16:40:00 UTC

In RC1:

1. Open two files in Source Editor
2. Split source editor by moving one file to the
bottom.
3. maximize the first document tab.
4. resize the IDE window. The whole Source Editor
tab is grey. You have to exit maximized mode using
the Shift-Escape key or you the Windows menu. You
can't use Ctrl-`, it does a weird thing that it
stays open but won't let you select any other open
window until you've unmaximized the source editor
pane.

There's no data loss here but this is very visible
and very ugly, not obvious how to exit out of it.

reassigning to openide. The whole area is gray, not only editor window...

hmm, really strange scenario (split, maximize, resize whole IDE) but
able to reproduce on RH, solaris too.

Comment 4 Patrick Keegan 2004-04-05 15:09:43 UTC

proposed relnote:

Description: The following sequence causes the Source Editor to turn grey:
1. Open two files in Source Editor.
2. Split Source Editor by moving one file to the
bottom.
3. Maximize the first document tab.
4. Resize the IDE window. 

Workarounds: 
*Choose any item from the Window menu to redisplay the content of the
open windows. 
*Do any window resizing before maximizing a document in the Source Editor.
