I have been plagued by files jumping from folder to folder or being copied
and pasted in the package explorer when I open them to edit by double
clicking. I have a notion about what is happening and wonder if there is a
way to work around this problem.
In most Perspectives, the package explorer sits just under the toolbar.
When a file is selected in the package explorer, the toolbar is usually
one row of icons. If I open a file in an editor that adds items to the
toolbar and causes it to change from one row of icons to two, the package
explorer is shortened and the file that was opened is no longer under the
cursor. Then due to some mouse event hokus-pokus and depending on what
lies under the cursor, the file is dragged and dropped into a neighboring
folder or a copy and paste operation is detected by the package explorer.
I would welcome any advice on how to configure Eclipse to avoid this
behavior.

I'm having trouble picturing what you are trying to describe. Perhaps
some screen shots or a short screencast would help us understand what
you're experiencing.

That does look quite irritating. Unfortunately, I can not reproduce it
using just Eclipse JEE package (editing JSP files which make the toolbar
larger than normal similar to the Zul editor in your demo). I tried
shrinking the workbench window down just like in your demo, but could
not get any copy-file prompts like you did.
At this point, I'd encourage you to try to reproduce this without the
Zul editor; if you can't, then you should go to the ZX Studio forums and
ask them to look into it.
If you can reproduce with "base" Eclipse, then enter a bug report
(linking to or attaching your screencast would probably help with the
explanation) about it: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs
Hope this helps,
Eric
