All of my projects from 3.4.1 still exhibit the error described in 28188. This is appearantly due to the projecs being improperly imported and not taking into consideration the fix for 28188.
Let me clarify the issue: 1) Problem happens only after importing entire userdir; doesn't happen if importing only separate projects. 2) And then happens only when switching from project with closed editor to project with previously opened editor. Workaround: Closed editor is not actually closed it's "only" not displayed, it means that if user opens any file (even already opened) editor is dislayed with all files opened. Final solution is removing files .nbattrs and editor.wsmode from folder {userdir}/system/Windows/WindowManager/Editing after importing the userdir.
This evaluation is correct.
Milan, this is confusing for me, so please read my proposed relnote carefully. :-) "When you switch back to a project that you were previously working on, the Source Editor does not display files that you left open when you switched away from that project. This can happen if you have imported your settings from a previous version of the IDE. Workaround: Open any file. All of the files that were previously open in the Source Editor will be opened." I'm not including the nbattrs and editor.wsmode hack, since I don't think this problem is serious enough to encourage users to do something where a slip of the mouse might mean other kinds of damage.
The note is basically OK, but the import of settings is the most important thing, so it should be mentioned as first. And also you forgot another important thing: Editor is not opened only if user switch from project where the editor is closed to project where the editor was previously opened. Typicaly you finish work, close the editor and open another project. Maybe you could also mention that the import is done by Import settings wizard during the first start of IDE.
I'd prefer to keep the "symptom"* (what the user sees) as the beginning of the note and then explain the cause later. Also, I added the part about View | Source Editor not working. "When you switch from a project where the Source Editor is closed to a project where the Source Editor is open, the Source Editor does not display files that you left open when you switched away from that project. In addition, the View | Source Editor menu item is disabled. This can happen if you have imported your settings from a previous version of the IDE. Workaround: Open any file. All of the files that were previously open in the Source Editor will be opened."
OK, this note seems OK to me.
"When you switch from a project where the Source Editor is closed to a project where the Source Editor is open..." Thats not quite right. Should be, "When you switch from a project where the Source Editor is closed to a project where the Source Editor *was* open..."
I suppose this issue is the same for 3.6 as it was for 3.5?
Irrelevant under new project system.
