I am using eclipse technology and we have a detached view (with enable-prompt-on-close-view). The application does not close correctly when dragged out of parent window If you drag the application out of the the parent window then click close, and then choose cancel on the dialog it is still closed. The application then hangs. On close, a dialog box appears with the options OK/Cancel(for closing the view or not). If cancel is selected, the view window vanishes and the view can not be launched again. This happens only when the view gets closed by clicking the X icon at the top right corner of the detached window. If the X icon next to the view's title is clicked (the one on the tab itself) everything seems to behave normally.
