Activate editor and not Activate editor on creation. Whats the difference? [message #485517]

Hello Group,

just wanted to ask what is the exact difference between calling
openEditor(input,id,activate) on a page with true or false as "activate" ?

My expectation was that with false the editor would open up in background.
Though it seems like this is not the case even with false the editor
gets opened and is brought to top.

Anyone can enlighten me?

Activating it should cause the editor to take focus also (blue'd tab
instead of non-blue'd tab).

When I set the value to false the editor is still brought to top and the
tab is blued... using eclipse 3.5

any other differences?

It will be brought to top no matter what, you can't get around that.

It should, however, not be blue'd (becoming the active part). I do not
have this problem though I'm using a 3.6 build. I don't think we've made
any changes to this code though I could be wrong.

Regards,
Remy
