Question regarding menu ordering #1308

CLOSED
Submitted 4 months ago

Prior to doing the exercise Topic #101, I had three Menus on my Application.e4xmi:

> File
> Edit
> Window

Then I created a new one, named "Other", and placed it between "Edit" and "Window", and placed the DynamicMenuEntries item in it. Then I started my application and there they were on my menu bar:

File Edit Other Window

Then I deleted the "Other" entry and created it again, in the same place. When I started my application again I had

File Edit Window Other

Then I moved the "Other" item to the end, then to its previous position. When I started my application again I had

File Window Other Edit

Any idea about what’s going on here? It’s really confusing.

It doesn’t show up correctly whether I start the application via the Debug command on the toolbar or via the Debug command on the .product file editor.

Sometimes the editor shows the wrong order. Once you modify the order, please close the editor and re-open it to see the "real" ordering.

Does that help?

Indeed. When I opened Eclipse again, the ordering was correct. Thanks.
