Tools defined in a disabled layer are active [message #1742540]

Hello,

I have encountered an unexpected behavior where tools defined in a disabled layer are active.

I have a layer "Tools" in which I have defined, among other things, Double Click and Direct Edit Label tools which act on mappings in layer "A" that is ActiveByDefault. I have layer "B" which is optional and reuses some of the mappings in layer "A". When layer "Tools" is disabled the Palette tools are removed, however the Double Click and Direct Label Edit are still active in both "A" and "B".

That is counter intuitive, at the least, if it was meant to work like that.
Otherwise what is the point of defining the tools in a different layer? They are not visible, sure, but they never were and they are still active and I don't want the user to edit something by accident that they were not supposed to edit.

Is this a bug, is there a way to work around it ?

Regards,
Nik

Hi

The expected behavior is the intuitive one, that is the tool defined in the layer should be disabled with the layer and, in fact, it is not the case.

You can raise a bug in Sirius bugzilla https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Sirius
I don't see a way to work around this.

Laurent

While experimenting and trying to overshadow the active DoubleClick (from the disabled layer) with a second "empty" one, I found out that if I have a DoubleClick tool in one layer and then in another layer define a DoubleClick tool on the same mapping, the mapping is removed from the first DoubleClick tool.
Obviously, there is no point in defining two DoubleClick tools on the same mapping in the same layer.
However, I should be able to provide different behavior in different layers, I think ? There is going to be a conflict if both layers are active but there should be no problem if used separately.
Any thoughts ?
