Re: [platform-ui-dev] Editors view feature or defect (?)
|
The history in the editor list view is currently implemented as a circular
linked list. I've been planning to revisit the history mechanism, primarily
to remove the circularity.
If you open editor A, then editor B, clicking the <- or -> should just toggle
you between the two editors. If it doesn't, it's a bug. You can file it
(append to Bug 10941) with a test case if you like. At the very least, it
could help me not recreate the bug when I rewrite the history.
Important note: The version of the EditorList I uploaded today has a bug that
I introduced while refactoring (doh!). The bug will generate an NPE every
time you open an editor if there are no editors open when you open the view.
I have a fix for the problem in hand and I'll be uploading a new version of
the editor list once I finish testing.
Thanks,
- Jared
