Eclipse multi editor window copy + paste + undo + redo + delete

Recently started using Eclipse (4.2.2) with PDT for PHP dev. There are problems if I have several editor containers open. I also use Ubuntu, so I don’t know if it has any limitations.

I like to drag some tabs to other screens, giving them a window container outside the main IDE. When I do this, copying and pasting do not work on the child window, but instead act like a cursor, which is still in the main code container.

If I have several container editors in the original IDE window, that’s fine, the problem only appears when dragging the container into its own window.

Just noticed, he will also not allow me to cancel / redo or click “delete” without having the same effect on the parent window. backspace however excellent

Is this a bug or a “function”? And any idea how to fix this?

I found that if you drag an existing editor tab inside a new window, go to the "Window" menu and select "new editor." Then drag this and everything will work as we expect.

FYI. This is not like Ubuntu, since I have the same problem on OSX 10.8.5 working on Eclipse Juno SR2.

Yes, this is a long-standing mistake: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=401835

Unfortunately, there seems to be no way around it other than restarting Eclipse.
