Bug 22563 [Perspectives] View layout is tricky at edges
I've just had to "redo" a perspective the way I want it (for reasonable reasons) and I've run into the same problem I always have. I wish to have the search/console/tasks bar along the whole bottom width of Eclipse. I should (I think) be able to do this by dragging a view over the status bar and getting an "up" arrow to say I want it to be above the status bar. Unfortunately, I can't do that - I have to put everything vertically so that *everything* is the full width, get the tasks/console/search in the right place and then reorganise the rest. Have I missed something, or is this genuinely missing functionality? (The same goes for the top, left and right as well - getting anything that takes up a whole side is basically a pain.)
