Empty label placeholder for perspectives icons in toolbar #341

Closed 4javier closed 5 years ago

4javier commented 5 years ago

Archlinux Gnome on Wayland eclipse.buildId=4.1.0.201812201400-RELEASE

"New perspective", "Java Perspective" and "Debug Perspective" toolbar icons have a blank space aside, that GTK_DEBUG identifies as a label. "Spring Perspective" on the contrary shows just a huge label with an empty icon space on its left. If I don't lock the toolbar, when I switch to Debug Perspective, additional icons make the toolbar span on two rows, due to the space wasted by perspectives' icons.

Looks like you are using an old workspace (STS 3) with STS 4. So the problem with the 'spring' perspective is to be expected. STS 4 doesn't have a spring perspectice anymore (you just work in the standard Java perspective).

When your workspace has a saved state that refers to things that no longer exist, you get these strange looking placeholders (eclipse puts something there even though it doesn't know how to properly display it).

I suggest you try in a 'clean' new workspace, and if you see anymore issues there, please report those.

I would also suggest that problems around icon/menus for 'New Perspective', 'Java Perspective' and 'Debug Perspective' are probably not problems specific to STS. These bits are part of the standard Eclipse platform. I bet they are reproducible in a vanilla Eclipse and, if so, they should be reported on the Eclipse bugzilla tracker. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/

I'm closing this ticket for now they are supposedly not STS bugs. If you have a good reason to beleave this is something that does affects STS specifically, please explain why and we can reopen this ticket.

PS: If all you really want to achieve is get rid of the bothersome 'spring' perspective label/placeholder. Simply right click on it and select 'Close Perspective'. As I already mentioned, the perspective no longer exists so there's no harm in closing that placeholder.

Thanks for the explanation. I simply deleted Spring Perspective from Window→Preferences→General→Perspective available list and problem is gone. If that's not supported anymore I'm not going to file a bugtrack on a deprecated function. Thanks again.

No problem. I wasn't sure, but it sounded like you also thought there was an issue with the other perspective buttons (Java, Debug ...). In that case a bug with eclipse should be filed. But indeed if you only really wanted the spring perspective 'placeholder' fixed/gone then there's nothing else to do.

Removing Spring perspective from available list fixed the label issue for the other buttons too. Thanks again.
