Bug 358092

The "Editors" modeless dialog that appears when the "Next Editor" command fires now responds to mouse-over events when my mouse moves and is over any of the entries in the editors window list.  The effect of this is that the selection can change to what the mouse is over and the mouse moves.  I believe this is incorrect semantics as it interferes with successful keyboard keying through the window list if the mouse happens move even slightly while that Editors dialog is up.

This Editors dialog does respond to mouse-click, and that behavior does strike me as correct.  In other words, while this dialog is up, I should be able to mouse click to select and dismiss the dialog, regardless of what keys on the keyboard are down.  But the selection should only change to the clicked item on click and not otherwise.  So, I contend that the mouse-over is the only really incorrect thing happening here.

I believe this behavior is new in Indigo.  

Here is another odd behavior I'm seeing in Indigo, and I'm not sure it's related or not to the bug stated above.  I like to assign new keybindings to Next Editor and Previous Editor:  Microsoft's old school "cool keys", Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab.  

Ctrl+Tab works fine with Next Editor, but Previous Editor does not seem to function at all with a Ctrl+Shift+Tab binding (and it does function as expected with the default binding, Ctrl+Shift+F6.)  I suspect there may have been some refactorings done to this code in Indigo that are neglecting to respect the user's key binding customizations for Previous Editor.

Otherwise, cheers to you for keeping good semantics around Next Editor and Previous Editor commands - Eclipse is one of the only IDE's left that does editor stacking the right way.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open multiple files as editors in your workspace
2. (Assuming your Next Window bindings are Ctrl+F6) Hold Ctrl down and hit F6, the Editors dialog should appear floating over your editor
3. Continue to hold ctrl and hit F6 a couple more times, the selection should change.
4. Continue to hold ctrl and float the mouse over the Editors file list, the selection should change to the list item that the mouse is floating over (incorrect, unexpected!)
