is still somewhat there: the ctabfolder still is painted (at least the  
editor title), the X icon is gone (implying that it cannot be closed  
again), the editor does not show up in the last of currently opened  
ones. pretty unfortunate a couple weeks from release. this happens on  
both Mac and windows.  I noticed that if you try to move an editor from  
one quadrant (I have a 30' monitor and 4 editor stacks opened within the  
editor area) to another, and accidentally drop the editor on the border  
(rather than on the ctab folder title area), then sometimes the target  
quadrant stops working properly (the display stops updating and it is  
impossible to activate a different editor in that quadrant)... only  
solution is to quit... which is never pleasant considering on a Mac  
eclipse is still not capable of retaining an accurate list of what was  
open in which quadrant..  quite annoying, but I make do with it. 
 
cheers,

Reporting this here won't help. You should file a bug report with  
detailed steps to reproduce.
