hideView() no longer working after 64-bit migration [message #1834245]

Hi,

I hope this is not too E4 specific, but as the application in question is currently not E4 based, let me try it here.

We migrated an RCP application from an older (Indigo) 32-bit platform to 64-bit Eclipse 2020-06 RCP platform.

There have been no major issues except this one.

Calling

activePage.hideView(viewToHide);

to close/hide a view this works perfectly fine in the 32-bit versions, but after the 64-bit migration the view tab won't close but leave an empty tab open instead. Closing it manually with the "X" works, but it also should work programatically.

Did anybody face similar issues, and is there something we may need to change in the plugin configuration or application code, to solve this?

Thanks in advance,
Werner
