Open new window torched my workspace again [message #152726]

Somehow I inadvertantly opened a second eclipse window but I didn't notice
it until I closed my main eclipse window. When I closed the second one, it
overwrote the workspace and blew away everything.

The problem seems to be caused by the second window not opening with the
same workspace settings as the parent window and the fact that it tries to
save its settings. Anyone else see this?

Is there a way to open the existing projects again? I choose open project
and it does something, but then it won't display in the package explorer.

There should be a bug logged already.
Please precise the eclipse version you are using.
(As I remember this bug only occurs on unix).

If you find the bug, report its number here, I would be glad to vote
for it (and other people may too).

It's probably because your second window was opened with a single
project as input (by selecting "Open in New Window" from package
explorer or navigator). A window that has a single project as input
will only show that single project, but your other projects still exist.
Just select Window > New Window to re-open a window that shows the
entire workspace.
