Felipe, please investigate this problem.

this is not a SWT Bug.

By default a TableViewer calls table#select() to restore the selection. This call only sets the selection but does not set the focus item.
Note that the selection and the focus item are not always the same item. You can change the focus item by holding the control key down and moving the focus using the up and down arrow key.

All you have to do is, in the selection listerner for the columns, call viewer.refresh(true, true) instead of just viewer.refresh().
