Re: Close a View in RDi 9.8

OK, so I think I have identified a bug in RDi 9.8 which is probably Eclipse-related. (Running under Windows 10.)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=565946

- If I start RDi 9.8 using an existing workspace, (copied from 9.6) none of the Views have the Close icon (X) on the tabs.

- If I start 9.8 with a fresh (new) Workspace - the X-icons are present.

- As an alternative, I tried the FILE > EXPORT (and IMPORT) facility to export/import an RDi configuration file (.cfg) from 9.6. to 9.8. The X-icons are still missing.

It'll be a real pain to have to set up a new Workspace in 9.8 with all the customised Connections, Perspectives, Filters, User Actions, etc. I am using!! What are the experiences of other folk?

OK, I'm stumped. This is probably an Eclipse thing: I cannot find a simple way of closing a View within RDi 9.8.

As of 9.8 the "X" icon is not longer present on all View tabs. The only way I've found to close a View is:

- Right-click on the View Tab
- A DETACH option appears - select this to detach the View from the Workbench
- The detached View now has the close (X) icon which can be actioned

Am I missing something? A Preference somewhere? (I have searched.) Or is this an Eclipse usability "improvement"?
