How to close panel popuped over editor in Eclipse Juno [message #971540]

In Eclipse I work most of the time with the editors maximized (I have to work on tiny screen a little larger then my smart phone). So console and junit view are collapsed on the sides.

When a test runs or a something get printed to the console the apropriate view pops up as desired.

Up to previous version I could just hit ESC (I think) and the view would collapse back.

But with the current version (Juno) I can't close the view by keyboard and with the mouse I need multiple clicks without realy understand where I have to click.

So the questions are:

How can I close the up popping view by keyboard, preferrable with a single key press.

What exactly is the criteria for the view to close when using the mouse?

It seems to me, I have to click another panel/view to close a panel that has pop upped. Clicking an editor doesn't always work. Nor does pressing Escape

F12 should do the trick.

Click somewhere outside the fast view.
