Description David Kaspar 2005-06-17 12:41:24 UTC 
Palette must not be a node-sensitive because it cause weird behavior while
browsing nodes in the Explorer view (palette content is change according to each
selected node in the Explorer).

Instead of that, make palette to be document-sensitive, so the palette will show
the content related to the active opened document in the editor.

This also allows you to autoclose palette TopComponent whenever there is no
PaletteConfiguration specified for the active document.
Comment 1 Stanislav Aubrecht 2005-07-08 15:53:35 UTC 
fixed

the palette module listens to changes in the activated nodes and activated
TopComponents. the palette window auto-opens when an editor that supports
palette is opened or activated. the palette stays open until all palette-aware
topcomponents are closed or hidden.
the palette content changes when user switches input focus to another
topcomponent. if the newly activated topcomponent does not support palette then
the content for previously active window stays visible.

Will this scenario be handled:
 There is a editor topcomponent will three multiviews.
Multiview1 has PaletteA in its lookup
Multiview2 has PaletteB in its lookup
Multiview3 has no palette.

 During swithcing between multiviews will the palette window content get
updated. If the user swithces to Multiview3, what happens to the palette window.

 As per comment above: "if the newly activated topcomponent does not support
palette then the content for previously active window stays visible."  - User
would not expect the palette of the previous multiview to be visible in this case.
Comment 3 Stanislav Aubrecht 2005-07-12 09:11:44 UTC 
palette window will close when MultiView3 gets activated.
