Description qiulin

Build Identifier: 3.6.1.v3657d-RCP20110311-1452

Usually FontDialog.open() returns an object containing changed attributes. However, if the user changes only color (not size, font name, .etc), it will return null. This looks to me that the FontDialog thinks nothing is changed by the user. This is not correct.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Invoke FontDialog.open()
2. The font dialog pops up. Make change on color only. Close the dialog.
3. The open() method returns null.

This issue is reproducible on SWT3.6.2 by Lotus team on mac 10.6

When only the font color is changed, open() method returns null, but FontDialog.getRGB() returns the color that was selected in the dialog. 
Same behavior is seen on both Cocoa and Carbon.

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. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. 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.
