How to prevent window list "confusion" when detaching eclipse views?
- by amotzg
I'm detaching eclipse views to float on my other screen in order to get more coding space on the first screen. When doing that, the detached windows appear in ubuntu's window list applet with the eclipse icon but with no title.
Then, when pushing the main eclipse button on the window list, one of the detached views will get to front but not the main eclipse window.
When using Alt+tab I can also see the extra eclipse icons but choosing the correct one for the main window works and make it the active window while also showing all detached childs. Other applications behave as expected, e.g. gimp floating panels don't show on the windows list and this is also the case with SlickEdit, Firefox child windows all show on window list but gets the focus correctly, etc.
I can see the the workspace switcher show my two screens but in 'Monitor preferences' I see my two screens as one big screen.
I'm working with ubuntu 10.04.4 under a VMware Workstation 7.1.3 build-324285.
'uname -a' output:
Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-40-generic #87-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 6 00:56:56 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The desktop screen shot with the problem, ununtu's version, and Monitor preferences.
How can I solve it and make only the main window show in window list or at least get activated when pushing it's button on the window list?
