WS2 build 031022, JDK1.4.2. (tested also on 031021). Steps: 1. Open clean IDE. 2. Open files: examples/ted/README and examples/ted/Ted.form (of course, both form and java :-)). 3. If you try to switch between form and java or text (README), the component palette and inspector are hidden/shown correctly. 4. Select the form (palette and inspector are shown). 5. Restart the IDE. 6. The inspector is not hidden after switching to java or text, and even is not closed when all the tabs in the editor are closed. Workaround: It *seems*, that if all views in the left part of the window (palette, component and properties) are closed manually (with no file opened in editor), the normal behaviour is restored.
It seems, the state of group is not saved correctly.
Fixed in [winsys_29836] branch. core/windows/../Central.java 1.1.2.113 /PersistenceHandler.java 1.1.2.45 /TopComponentGroupImpl.java 1.1.2.9
Seems OK in 031029.
