Eclipse Invisible Editor

eclipse

I have eclipse Juno. I'm not sure how, but my editor in eclipse is now "invisible". By invisible i mean, the editor pane is not in the visible window. I'm not a novice in eclipse and i know you can minimize the editors or maximize a different panel – but this isn't the case. There isn't even a minimize/maximize button on this empty space where the editor should be.

However, the title bar shows the current file that is opened (but in the invisible editor and hence invisible). and my outline sidebar shows the file's outline.

I think this might have happened when splitting editor panes (which i do a lot, love the side by side comparison), and also switching the perspective.

Any ideas on how i can get the editor back in the visible window?

Above is a screenshot of how it looks. At the time of the screen shot i had just recently clicked a file to open it, and it seems to have opened in the invisible editor.

I've tried all given solutions and none of them solved the problem. Only using Window->New Window gave me a new fixed eclipse window.
