Description Silenio Quarti

From the orca mailing list:

-------------------
I don't know who is the guilt, orca or eclipse.
Probably both!

To reproduce try the following:
1. lanch eclipse.
I'm running build i20100504 but the problem can be reproduced with 
previous versions.
2. choose a workspace.
3. Open the editor with some content.
4. Switch to another application pressing alt+tab.
5. Switch back to eclipse pressing alt+tab.
6. try to navigate the text by pressing the arrow.

for me nothing happens, Orca is muted.
The workaround is to press ctrl + tab and then tab.
Sometimes the workaround does not work and I use Plan B, press ctrl + f7 
or ctrl+f8.
When Plan B does not work I use the Plan C, press the right mouse button.
Thanks!

SWT is not send focus_event and state_changed events as required when the editor gets focus.
