When switching to new local task, explorer focused ui is not reset [message #1446000]

Hi,

I have a bunch of local tasks. When I switch from a task to a different
one that I had never worked on before, I expected mylin to reset the
project exlorer "focused ui", but it doesnt. It seems like it
initializes the new task context with the context of the previous task..
This is Mylin on Luna.

Oh, and also weird: The generated commit message template in the EGit
staging view does not update either.

Hi,

What are you doing to activate the task?

The EGit staging view not updating is a known bug in EGit. It should update if you clear the commit message and then stage a file.

In the task list view, the active task has a blue "bubble". Then to
change the task, I click on the "empty bubble" of a different task.

Ok, not a big deal anyway :) Mylin is great!

There are some cases when activating a task where the last selected item in a view gets added to the context. Is that what you're seeing?

Oh. Didn't know that. I thought activating a task would always start
with an empty context. I'll observe and come back here.

When activating a task for the first time, starting with an empty context is the intended behaviour.
