It looks like this is a eclipse defect. I am using eclipse 3.2.

Thanks,
David

Are you on eclipse 3.3? Does it still do this in eclipse 3.4? If so,
please open a bug with a simple example at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform &component=UI&short_desc=[Contributions]

Are these your editor/view? When you open the editor, doesn't it become
active? Does your view and editor implement setFocus() correctly?

This works for me with both the Project Explorer/Text editor and the
Info View and Info Editor (command based in
org.eclipse.ui.examples.contributions).

Hi

1. I am using command framework to show popup menus for my view, and I
used visible and activate when clauses. It works fine, but when I detached
view using detached options on the view, I loose all pop up menus.

I am not sure whether this is a eclipse defect or I am missing some thing.

[Daivd] I tested with eclipse 3.2 & 3.3. I see the same behavior. I
haven't moved to eclipse 3.4.

2. And also I noticed one more scenario where it looses pop up menus.
When I launch editor from the view, don't set focus on the editor, come
back to the view, right click on any node, and I don't see any pop up
menus options.

SetFocus is set properly on the view but not on the editor. If I don't set
setFocus on the editor, launch editor from the view, come back to the
view, select any node in the view and right click to see menu options. I
see options are disabled which need some specific object selection.
When I set setFocus on the editor, everthing works as expected.
