Note: If you open a file from the Project Explorer fast view, the fast view will automatically hide itself to allow you to work with the file.  

To convert a fast view that has been maximized back to a regular sized view, select Restore from the context menu of the icon in the top left corner of the view. To reposition a fast view, drag the fast view's title bar (or close the fast view and then drag its button from the shortcut bar) and drop it on the workbench like a normal view.
