Description Pawan Singh CLA 2010-01-15 17:38:50 EST 
Build Identifier: M20090917-0800

I have a preference page implementation where I enable disable field editors based on propertyChange event. This screws up the field editors so badly that one cannot even get mouse to get out of a text box - one has to hit keyboard tab to get out of the field. The problem I am seeing is on Ubuntu 9.10, 32-bit.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable disable field editors in propertyChange event
2. If you click in a text field, you can never get mouse out of that by clicking somwhere else.

Use this enum as the DatabaseType:

public enum DatabaseType {
    MySQL, SqlServer, Oracle, Sqlite, Postgresql, Derby, Other
}


and just uncomment setFieldStatus() method.

If you run with a newer build, does the error occur?

You may also want to try defining the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true environment variable in your launch configuration.

I do have that defined in my .bashrc.
Comment 6 Eric Williams CLA 2018-05-15 14:50:48 EDT 
Is this still reproducible? Do you have a pure SWT snippet that reproduces the issue on GTK3.22?
Comment 7 Eric Williams CLA 2018-05-30 10:44:56 EDT 
Closing this ticket now. Please re-open this ticket if the issue is reproducible on 4.8 with GTK3.22.
