There was a newsgroup discussion about it a while back (sometime in the
past year, I think). In that discussion, I argued that it would be hard
for Eclipse to know what perspective to return to in all cases. In the
simple case, where I went from PerspectiveA to Debug and only one
program was launched, of course it would be easy to determine that it
should go back to PerspectiveA. But what about more complex cases, for
example that involve multiple perspective changes during the execution
of a debug?
If you can answer that question with a clear requirements/behavior
specification, then go ahead and enter a feature request in Bugzilla.
But be aware that code contributions will help it get off the ground;
the dev teams are usually very short on people and long on ideas.
For reference, here are the older discussions on the topic:
