Build Identifier: R-3.6.1-201009090800

When we create a simple RCP application with a view having multiple form fields, pressing tab doesn't work in the expected order. Please refer the attached View.java - when we press tab on the form, the control does not pass from the text field to the next button in the UI layout. Also the form fields which are not visible do not get focus. After scrolling down using mouse and clicking on a form field, tab control passes to the next field (but again in wrong order). The same piece of code works fine in Windows XP on same eclipse release(3.6.1).
		
Tested in AIX PPC 7.1 using Eclipse 3.6.1 (build downloaded from http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6.1-201009090800/aixPlatform.php)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new plugin project (RCP application with a view) on eclipse 3.6.1
2.Replace View.java with the code in the attachment
3.Save and select Launch an eclipse application
4.Check the tab order - the tab goes back and forth only in the visible area of the form. 
5.Scroll down using mouse and click on another form field, press Tab again. We can see that Tab is not going to the correct button after text field.

SWT no longer provides AIX builds.
