Build Identifier: M20100211-1343

Using this tutorial at this section 4.5 :  http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html#first_uiproperties as a guide, I attempt to "Select the complete widget and use the Properties view to set the property "background" to the color attribute "myColor"."

I can select the widget, highlight the 'Background' property, and when i press the [...] button in the value column the Reference Chooser Window never appears and the Value [...] button disapears.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Highlight the Widget in the Layout View
2.Highlight the Background Property
3.Press [...] button under Value

It appears like a bug in the Android SDK. Please file a bug against them

I found a work around. If I mouse right click on the "..." button, and then I press space bar, the reference chooser pops up. Pain, but a work around nontheless.
