I have several perspectives in my Eclipse RCP application. Two perspectives using JOGL.

When I open a JOGL perspective with a NEWT view and then switch back to another perspective
(NEWTcanvas free - no view with a JOGL NEWT canvas) the NEWT canvas still overlaps the current views in the perspective and is not hidden (however this works on Windows and Linux!). In additon you can't resize the view (it's liek a free floating layer with the default dimensions of the JOGL perspective).

If I then open in this perspective the NEWT view or switch to the JOGL perspective the NEWT canvas gets reparented in it's view and is resizable again!

This is a strange behaviour only occuring on MacOSX (tested with Mojave).

Any thoughts what could cause this behaviour?
