When Debug tabbed view is selected, this results in Build Project menu disabled [message #1821775]

It sees to not associate the Debug Configuration with the correct C/C++ Project anymore.

Another seemingly related behavior
* I have unintentional multiple tabbed instances of a single source file
** Open a file from the "C/C++ Project" or "Project Explorer" tabbed views to have a editor instance tab
** Clicking on a function from the call stack to bring up the file an editor instance tab.
** These two tabbed view instances are independent
*** Editing each tab and saving one results with a warning for the other tab that the file on disk has changed
*** Only when focus is on the source tab view, which was opened using the a project view, results in the "Build Project" menu item being enabled

I have yet to find a way to correct this behavior

* This behavior started this week after using this project and debug configuration for over two months.
* I don't know what may have occurred to create this state
* This state persists after closing and restarting Eclipse
* The state may have coincided with another issue I reported a day or two ago
** Clicking an error in the compiler output displayed in the Console view fails to open the file in a editor tab view nor select the line of code which caused the error

Because the Debug tab in Debug View is not associated with a project.
Build Project will be enabled when a window associated with the project (an edit window, e.g.) is active.

Debug Configurations are global to the workspace.
They never were associated with a project.
So it's not clear what you mean.
But you can set the project on the Main tab.

Not sure how you did that without cloning the window.
When I try to open a file already open, it goes to the already open window.
Is it possible they are really two files with the same name?

Clicking on the call in the debug stack opens the window if not already open.
