Eclipse 3.4 crashes / failes to repaint when "Close Others" is used
with SharedHeaderFormEditor

We can't crash
and fail to paint. The exact nature of the fix is still under discussion
in the bug report. We will do the safest thing possible.

BUG URL:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=236324
GOALS/BENEFITS:
This bug is a regression which was introduced early in Eclipse 3.4. It caused
serious problems for the Mylyn project and was marked as a blocker because it
caused a crash on Linux. While Mylyn has been able to work around this bug it
could impact any user of SharedHeaderFormEditor. To create the symptoms it is
necessary to have more than one editor open and then close them in a particular
order, this could easily get missed in product testing but will show up in the
real world. Because this is a regression which can affect existing code and
because the consequences are severe we are requesting approval to fix this in
Eclipse 3,4,
RISKS:
We have taken every possible step to minimize risk. A new JUnit test has been
added . The patch has been reviewed by 4 different reviewers and we can see no
way that this will cause regressions. We have also tested editors which use
SharedHeaderFormEditor including the PDE editors and the Forms examples and
found no problems there.
PERFORMANCE IMPACT:
None._______________________________________________
