arne anka commented on JBIDE-2588:
----------------------------------

yes, i found taht already (though the slider's description could use a bit elaboration, it's not clear which direction to push).
but i still find it confusing and no good design to have both on one tab and the little triangles on bottom, too.
my point still stands: source editing and visual editzing are different things to be addressed by different tabs.
having both active on one tab, there's not enough space for either one and cumbersome.
how big is the chance that somebody does source editing and visual editing at the same time and thus needs _both_ editors on one tab?

> the vpe should reside on a separate tab, not together with source, and it should initialize only when openend.
> rationale: 
> i am no big fan of visual editors but can imagine that there are situations when i might find it useful.
> so, when editing pages i do it with the source editor. having the vpe on the same tab it occupies space, even minimized, and is confusing -- a clean separation is desirable (source|visual|preview).
> additionally, the visual editor is initialized when the source editor is opened, regardless whether i ever use it. having the visual editor on it's own tab would allow lazy initialization, saving resources.
> re the versions: i see "Richfaces VPE Feature 2.0.0.200807200019-nightly", not clear to me which of the numbers in the selects above fits.
