First: I will inspect the code carefully where not a cleanup is done because this
should
be done otherwise it is a bug.
But second: Which version of ecb you are using? I suppose something <= 1.32?! Ok,
latest 1.40beta2 version
which is available via CVS has a lot of improvements: here is the HISTORY-file.
You see, there are menus, keybindings, minor-modes etc. AND there is a
toggle-visibilty-ecb-windows command.
Therefore you should not activate/deactivate ECB but only toggle the visibility of the
ecb-windows. But this works
only with latest 1.40beta2. maybe we should realease soon 1.40?!

HISTORY:
Version 1.40:
-------------
- New advice for 'other-window-for-scrolling', so all scroll-functions for the
"other" window can also scroll the first edit-window if point stays in the
second one. (Klaus)
- ecb-toggle-ecb-windows now preserves the split, the split-amount, the buffer
contents, the window starts and current point. (Klaus)
- Some important changes in the ECB-layout concerning displaying compilation-
and temp-buffers. (Klaus):
+ 'ecb-select-compile-window' has been gone.
+ 'ecb-use-dedicated-windows' is not longer a user-customizable option but
it is always set to t, because this is essential for correct working of
the ecb-layout engine!
+ 'ecb-compile-window-temporally-enlarge' is now a boolean option.
+ Now ECB does all necessary that your edit-window of ECB seems to be a
normal Emacs frame, especially concerning displaying temp-buffers (like
help- and completion-buffers) and compilation-buffers.
+ The variables 'compilation-window-height' and 'temp-buffer-shrink-to-fit'
(XEmacs) and 'temp-buffer-resize-mode' (GNU Emacs) are now fully supported
by ECB if no durable compilation-window is shown.
- New function to toggle visibility of the ECB windows. Now itīs possible to
hide all ECB windows without deactivating ECB (see 'ecb-toggle-ecb-windows')
(Klaus).
- ECB is now a global minor mode with itīs own menu "ECB" and itīs own keymap
with prefix "C-c .". New function to (de)activate/toggle ECB with
'ecb-minor-mode'. (Klaus)
- Fixed a bug in highlighting current token in the method-buffer when
font-lock-mode is nil for the source-buffer. (Klaus)
- New option for highlighting the method-header in the edit-window after
clicking onto the method in the method-window (like Speedbar does). (Klaus)
- Function for automatically submitting a problem report to the ECB mailing
list: ecb-submit-problem-report. (Klaus)
- Now not only for method-highlighting an idle delay can be set but also for
synchronizing the ECB windows with current edit window (see option
ecb-window-sync and ecb-window-sync-delay; default is 0.25 sec delay)
(Klaus).
- Smarter highlighting of current method (Klaus).
- All tree-buffers now have as default-directory the current selected
directory in the directory buffer. So you can also open files with find-file
etc. from within the tree-buffers. (Klaus).
Hi,
I've been using ECB a lot w/ JDE. Typically I activate and deactivate it many
times during an Emacs session (to take a better look at shell buffers, dired windows,
etc.), and have even created keybinds for that (below).
The problem is, ecb-deactivate don't seem to do a complete clean-up, specially in
the mouse hooks. After I activate/deactivate ECB I start to have very strange mouse
(the so called "jump to right destination" behavior, I believe) and frame (popping up)
behavior.
Is there anyway to configure ECB to *really* deactivate the additional mouse/frame
behavior?
Regards,
Nascif
