[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-4306) 'Use Source tab as a default' option not working

[Peter Hilton (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4306?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12472309#action_12472309 ] 

Peter Hilton commented on JBIDE-4306:
-------------------------------------

I have investigated further, and it seems that this is harder to reproduce than my description suggests. As far as I can tell, I only get the Visual/Source tab when opening a file 'for the first time' for one of my existing projects, which I have had for a while. I'm not sure what the difference is, for example, but this might mean that I am opening files ''for the first time since upgrading JBoss tools' or something.

I guess this means two things: this report is less helpful than I hoped, since you can't reproduce it, and that the priority is lower.

Should I investigate further, or would you prefer to close this as 'Cannot Reproduce'? How does JBoss Tools determine whether the file has been opened before?

> VPE always opens in split Visual/Source view, despite preferences settings.
> # Set 'Preferences » JBoss Tools » Web » Editors » Use Source tab as a default for multi-tab editors' to enabled.
> # Set 'Preferences » JBoss Tools » Web » Visual Page Editor » Default Editor Tab' to 'Source'.
> # Set 'Preferences » JBoss Tools » Web » Visual Page Editor » Size of Visual Editor Pane' to 0%.
> # Open a .xhtml file in 'JBoss Tools HTML Editor'.
> #* Expected (option 1): the file opens with the Source tab selected.
> #* Expected (option 2): the file opens with the Visual/Source tab selected, with the Source pane maximised.
> #* Observed: the file opens with the Visual/Source tab selected, with the Source and Preview panes both at 50% height.
