Hi Timo,
It sounds like you are trying to see two editors at once (e.g.
http://www.coconut-palm-software.com/~djo/blog_images/eclips e_split_pane.png).
As far as I know Eclipse perspectives don't store this layout, so
you shouldn't be able to make this work with two Java editors either.
Is that the case?
What is your use case for dragging to Problems or Search?

Hi Timo,
Eclipse's interaction is optimized around only having a single editor
visible at a time, and Mylyn inherits that. For this reason we have
tried to make it as easy as possible to open the editor for the active
task (hyperlink in Task List view). Sometimes I find myself putting the
task editor next to the source editor, but this is pretty rare.
Using a view to show a task editor is problematic because it replicates
content, and because it can be tedious to manage such content in views.
For example, JDT's Declarations view was intended to do something very
similar, and we have usage date that indicates it very rarely gets uses.
The alternative that we have to opening the Task Editor is to show a
tooltip, which we have been making an increasingly rich display of the
most relevant task editor contents. We have added the tooltip to the
active task hyperlink for Mylyn 2.2, so consider trying that out in the
next weekly build. If you still feel yourself needing an additional
display of the active task consider reporting back or filing a bug.
