Description sapex 2001-05-14 09:37:40 UTC 
Each time I restart IDE I must run again the "make dominant"
command because the state is not keeped in configuration.
Comment 1 Jan Zajicek 2001-09-12 15:02:13 UTC 
Ok, increasing to P2, now it's more visible. The output window will
be, after each restart, dominant, instead of explorer.
Comment 2 David Simonek 2001-10-03 15:38:58 UTC

Fixing this one.
Comment 7 David Simonek 2001-11-08 15:10:01 UTC 
Note, Vita is working on this issue like crazy, it's complicated and
large fix. (just in case you think that it's been overlooked) :-)
Comment 8 Vitezslav Stejskal 2001-11-08 18:39:37 UTC 
It seems to be finaly fixed, uff. The dominance of windows (modes) is defined by the order of their 
DataObjects in the workspace folder, this order is updated when workspace gets saved and dominance is 
restored when the workspace gets visible (during the startup or projects switch). Please, note that I did 
the change in ICFolderImpl. The ICFI listens on PROP_CHILDREN changes in associated DataFolder instead of 
on its primary FileObject, this was neccessary in order to get reliable results from DataFolder calls 
made in event handlers. It would be greate to test the winsys stuff now!

There is still problem with dominance of modes in hiden workspaces (switched off) when switching 
projects, I will file an issue.

Fixed in main trunk.
Comment 9 Vitezslav Stejskal 2001-11-12 13:06:54 UTC 
Reopening, fix of this issue caused several regressions and was rolled back, see issue #17450, issue 
#17453, issue #17466.
Comment 10 Vitezslav Stejskal 2001-11-13 19:43:30 UTC 
Second try to commit my fix and close this issue. The dominance is correctly saved and restored even for 
hidden workspaces, also it seems to be handled correctly during the projects switching. Unfortunately 
another synchronization was added into ICFolderImpl, this was tested on my W2K and Linux boxes and seemed 
to work, but additional testing is more than neccessary! It would be great to run some test before the 
beta-testing on Friday just to be sure that nothing critical is broken.

Fixed in main trunk.
