Since upgrading to CDT 3.0.0 I've noticed a change in the interaction
between the outline view and the editor window. Now when I click on a
method or class in the outline view, only that method shows up in that
file's editor window. That's OK sometimes, but sometimes I want to see
the whole file at once. Right now the only way I can manage that is to
close and reopen the file. Maybe I'm just being thick, but how do I
toggle between seing just the selected method and seeing the whole file?

There is a button on the main tool bar whose tooltip is "Show source of
selected element only". Unselect that and it should go back to normal.
This is an eclipse thing, not specific to the CDT.

Thanks. Unfortunately, that button wasn't activated by default (at least
it wasn't for me). For anyone else following this thread, to add the
"Show source of selected element only" button in the C/C++ perspective you
should:

1. Right click on the workbench toolbar region.
2. Select Customize Perspective from the contextual menu.
3. Select the Commands tab in the dialog.
4. Select the Editor Presentation command command set.
5. Click OK (duh.)

Now you'll have a button which toggles between showing only the slected
element and the whole file. Tres convenient.
