[Kepler] window focus on new editor [message #1053705]

i just switched to Kepler, and there's something it's driving me nuts.

i have a 3 pane layout: Navigation on the left, a big pane for editors and a bottom pane for minor stuff (like markers, servers. etc. etc)

Whenever i open a new file, this one is opened in the currently focused pane.

In juno instead new files were always opened in the big pane, which got focus automatically.

i don't recall i set any preferences about this.

is this a new kepler behaviour or a bug?

thank you for your help

Cristian, is it possible that you've somehow moved one of the non-editor stacks into the Editor Area ? If there's a frame with tiny min/max buttons at the top right you likely have done this. In Eclipse 4 it's possible to do this. Try to factor up the UI so that there are no other stacks in the MArea except the one where you want the editors to go...
