Hi!
Using latest Helios SR-2 Java EE, I noticed, that when going through search results, the opened file in the editor is not linked with its icon in the Project explorer.
- open dialog Search / File... and search for some content
- in the results view (Search) , click the next Show Next Match button (down arrow)
As you click it and go through different files, they open in the editor, but the Project view does not change.
It helps, if I open another, unrelated file in editor, the select again the search result file in editor (by clicking on its tab). Then the Project view is updated properly.
Is this a known bug?
I am not sure under which component to file it.
Regards,
David

When you step through the results the Search view stays active, so that
you can continue stepping to the next/previous result. Because the
Project and Package explorers only track the active editor, they don't
update while stepping through. You can reveal the element(s) directly in
the explorers using 'Show In' from the Search view's context menu.

Yes, although I disagree with this behavior.
If I click inside the editor, the Project explorer updates.
But there are some cases, when even this does not work.
I think it happens with some project in my workspace.
If there are search matches in project1, clicking in the editor (text area) makes the Project exlorer sync to the open file.
But when I click through search results until a file that is in project2 is opened, this does not work any more.
If I select another open tab in editor (which is properly synced) then back the the matched file, it it is not synced.
Then I open a file in the same directory (Java Resources...), then finally the problematic editor gets linked properly.
There is definitely something odd going on.
Regards,
David

Yes that sounds strange. It would be great if you could find
reproducible steps and file them against Platform UI.

I wonder in 13 years this obvious bug is not fixed.
Here is simple scenario how to reproduce it:
Let's have some java project and in it somewhere in directories have some jasper template file (*.jrxml). When invoke search: menu Search->File...
put on File Search tab some text to search that I know is definittelly in some jrxml files and file name pattern set to *.jrxml.
Then in search result in Search view on right click in context menu choose "Open with -> Text editor" , not system editor - just simple text editor in Eclipse.
And that's it - link between text editor and Project Explorer view doesn't work.
Of course toggle button "Link with Editor" is on.
BUT! when the very same file is open through right click on context menu in Project Explorer view then the Editor<->Project Explorer link works.
The point is opening the file from the results in Search view. Then the link Editor<->Project Explorer doesn't work.
Tested on
Version: 2021-12 (4.22.0)
Build id: 20211202-1639.
