Bug 338137

Comment 1 Eric Moffatt 2011-02-24 14:28:24 EST

Remy, this is part of the whole story about what happens to 'activation' when a part / stack / shared area goes minimized (focus follows activation but where does it go when there is no active part ?).

We already have a number of 3.x issues surrounding this (203667, 332018, 295973...) so this is a good place to figure this out for 4.x.

What do you think the active part should be under this scenario ? Where should the focus be if the active part is null ?

It should be 'null' since there is nothing available in the window.

Probably on the tab folder of the maximized part stack.

For whatever reasons, I can still use the spacebar to depress the button even though it has been reparented to a shell that has never been opened.

Display display = new Display();
final Shell master = new Shell(display, SWT.SHELL_TRIM);
master.setLayout(new FillLayout());
final Shell hidden = new Shell(display, SWT.SHELL_TRIM);
hidden.setLayout(new FillLayout());

final Composite c = new Composite(master, SWT.NONE);
c.setLayout(new FillLayout());
Button b = new Button(c, SWT.PUSH);
b.addListener(SWT.Selection, new Listener() {
  public void handleEvent(Event e) {
    System.out.println("handleEvent");
  }
});

display.timerExec(3000, new Runnable() {
  public void run() {
    c.setParent(hidden);
    hidden.layout(true, true);
    master.layout(true, true);
  }
});

master.pack();
master.open();

while (!master.isDisposed()) {
  if (!display.readAndDispatch())
    display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
