Hi,

I am using 'form toolbar' of my editor to place commands. These commands get
enabled/disabled based on certain criteria (when the focus is on a table in
the editor), this works fine if we have only one editor open. But if the
user opens multiple editors and rearranges them so that he can see more than
one editor, the toolbar commands don't show proper state. If a command gets
enabled on one editor, it automatically gets enabled on other editor too,
same with disable state. I am attaching an image here with a snapshot of the
problem i am facing.

Basically, what i need is, if a command gets enabled on one editor, it
shouldn't update the state of another editor using the same command.

I am using handler extension with activeWhen criteria to enable/disable
commands.

Is there a solution to this issue ?

No, there is no fix for this in 3.x. The state enabled is an attribute
of the Command itself. Multiple tool items all point to the same
command, so when it's enabled all visible instances would be updated.

There's a bug open about this (it shows up easily in multi-instance
views) but I can't find it at the moment.
