Steps:
1. Open a plugin.xml file
2. Press Ctrl+F7 to switch focus to a view
3. Press Ctrl+F7 to give focus back to the editor
 
The focus remains in the view that was focussed last. Without using the mouse, 
there is no way to return focus to anything visible in the editor.

Alternatele steps:
1. Open a plugin.xml file
2. Press Ctrl+F6 to switch focus to a Java editor
3. Press Ctrl+F6 to give focus back to the Plugin Manifest editor

The focus remains in the non-visible Java editor. Pressing tab to try to 
navigate the Plugin Manifest editor indents the text in the Java file.

True. PDE multi-page editor has a working focus delegation mechanism that was 
disabled (commented out) for some reason at the very top. Reenabled.
