Standalone window open mode fails #98

In the v1.5.3 release of YAMCS Studio, the option to open an OPI as a standalone window works once, but only once. The first time it opens, you see the following error in the console:

[02:13:16.950] Failed to send OPI shells changed command

When I close the popup window, I see the following additional error:

[02:13:26.950] Failed to send OPI shells changed command

When I click the button again to open the window again, I see the following 2 errors:

[02:21:12.827] Failed to open /MyTest/test2.opi [02:21:12.828] Failed to open /MyTest/test2.opi

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04

I thought I had remove all standalone references, but you managed to find one still :)

All these different varieties of window tricks were causing big usability problems in the first versions of Yamcs Studio (as they are in CS-Studio), because the Eclipse platform is just not very well suited for that. Same reason why I got rid of most of the top/right/bottom/left options.

My solution here, sorry to say, will be to get rid of some of these action options.

After some more thinking:

top/left/bottom/right options should be gone for sure (they relate to perspective positions, but that just didn't work well as soon as the user did any sort of layout customization).
the 'standalone' i will try to fix first. I can see how it could be useful for your scenario.

Issues with standalone windows fixed on master.
