Dmitrii Bocharov commented on JBIDE-23150:
------------------------------------------

it's not a bug connected with Opeshift Explorer view. I would say that it is not a bug at all, but an intended behavior of the Properties view. For example, try the same trick you described, but with, say, Git Repositories view. It works the same way.
[Here is the description|https://eclipse.org/articles/Article-WorkbenchSelections/article.html] of the mechanism of Selection Service. The thing we need is in the beginning of The Big Picture chapter:
{panel:title=The Big Picture}
Each workbench window has its own selection service instance. _The service keeps track of the selection in *the currently active part*_ and propagates selection changes to all registered listeners. Such selection events occur when the selection in the current part is changed or when a different part is activated.
{panel}
I want to say that when view X is in the same visual container with Properties view, and Properties view is active, X view can't be active and that's why can't be "parsed" on Properties. 
It's even more interesting - when Properties view is active, it is listened by selection service (according to the quote from the article above) and passes the data to the ... Properties view =) So Properties view displays the properties of the Properties view =)

[~adietish], I would close this issue as not a bug

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: openshift
>    Affects Versions: 4.4.1.Final
>            Reporter: Andre Dietisheim
>            Assignee: Dmitrii Bocharov
>             Fix For: 4.4.2.AM2

> If you have the OpenShift explorer and the Properties view both stacked in the same view like it is shown in the following screenshot:
> !openshift-explorer-and-properties-both-stacked.png!
> and you start up Eclipse with the Properties view visible (not OpenShift explorer) you wont be able to ever see any property of any OpenShift resource. The properties view always stays empty.
> steps to reproduce:
> # ASSERT: have Properties view and OpenShift explorer (stacked) in the same visual container 
> # ASSERT: make sure any view (but OpenShift explorer) is visible when you start Eclipse
> # EXEC: make Properties view visible
> # EXEC: make OpenShift explorer visible. Select an entry
> # EXEC: switch back to Properties view
> Result:
> Properties view stays empty. You can switch back and forth, you wont get any content in the properties view.
> !properties-empty.png!
> Only moving Properties view to a different (visual) container helps.
> the steps simply show a reliable way to reproduce it. I think there are more cases where this happens. Root cause could be in platform, not sure though.
