Hello to everybody.
I have recently moved from an older version of Eclipse (3.2 I think) to Eclipse 3.6.
I have noticed that Eclipse does not remember correctly the state of my worksplace between sessions: all the minimized text windows when exiting Eclipse become restored after running Eclipse again.
This was not the case in my older version.
These are some of my settings:
General / Appearance
Current presentation = Classic Presentation
Current theme = Default
General / Editors
Show multiple editor tabs.
Allow in-place system editors.
Restore editor state on startup.
Prompt to save on close even if still open elsewhere.
I am puzzled and annoyed by this odd behaviour. How can I solve it?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Jose.

It might be that 3.2 workspaces don't migrate accurately up to 3.6.
However, I do not find what you say to be true for my use of workspaces
in Helios.

Thank you very much for your answer, Russell.
One of the first things I thought was that it was a compatibilty problem between two different versions with different plugins installed. But this is not the case because it also happens with new projects in newly created workspaces.
It is not a problem of my OS configuration either: I see the same behaviour under Debian Lenny, and a friend of mine could reproduce it too in his computer (Ubuntu 10).
Thus, I think there are only two possibilities left:- I get this behaviour because of my settings in Eclipse.
- It is not because any settings but because of Eclipse itself (Bug in Eclipse).
Here is how to reproduce the issue: - Create a new project, make sure to select Classic Presentation in your General/Appearance settings and create two new text files.
- Then drag one tab below so that you can see the content of the two files simultaneously one under the other.
- Write some stuff in both files, save them and minimize one of the two windows.
- Exit Eclipse and restart it.
Voila!
Here is an example:
01 - Before exiting from Eclipse
(note the minimized window "One.c")
02 - After restarting Eclipse
Note: I have just seen the same problem in Callisto (3.5.1 with Mylyn, CDT, texlipse...).
Can anyone help me? Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards.
