#277 C:B project variables not updated when changing workspace

[Carsten Arnholm]

When I close a workspace (workspace A) using "File->Close Workspace" and open another (workspace B), typically via the "Recent projects" links on the C::B front page, I find that my post build steps are sometimes not working properly. Below is an example specification of a post build step:

$cpde_usr -bin -xi -project=$(PROJECT_NAME) -root=$(PROJECT_DIR) -build=$(TARGET_NAME) -target=$(TARGET_OUTPUT_FILE) -usr=$(CPDE_USR)

The problem is that sometimes the $(PROJECT_NAME), $(PROJECT_DIR), $(TARGET_NAME) etc. variables of C::B keep their settings from the used-to-be-current project in the recently closed workspace A, i.e. they are NOT reassigned to the actually-current project in workspace B.

The work-around when this happens is to close/restart C::B and open workspace B, then all is fine in the build. Note that no changes have occurred in workspace B.

I am able to reproduce on my own workspaces like this:

1. Open C:B
2. Open Workspace A, Rebuild All
3. File -> Close Workspace
4. Open Workspace B by clicking link on front page
5. Rebuild all. Post-build step fails here, indicating the $(PROJECT_NAME) is the used-to-be project in the previous workspace A

This problem has been observed on Windows and Linux:
Windows: Nightly build 09 November 2015 build (10561) (svn 10595)
Linux: svn 10621
