Description Ivan Furnadjiev CLA 2012-01-20 02:50:22 EST 
In JFace, it's possible to control the tabbing behavior of the cell editors. There is a feature to turn on TABBING_VERTICAL. It relies on the following key combination:
- CTRL+TAB - move the focus to the cell below
- CTRL+SHIFT+TAB - move the focus to the cell above.
In IE and WebKit there is no event send from the client if these combinations are pressed. Pressing the CTRL sends an event with keyCode = 17 and mask = ctrl. Pressing TAB afterwards, without releasing the CTRL do nothing.
Working fine in Firefox - event is sent with keyCode = 9 and mask = ctrl.
Reproducible with Control Demo -> TableViewerTab with activated cell editors. Activate the cell editor on the first column and press CTRL+TAB on it.
Comment 1 Tim Buschtoens CLA 2012-01-25 08:20:50 EST 
As CTRL+TAB and all variants of it are not possible to support on any browser (firefox switches browser-tabs), we agreed to suppress this key sequence in general.
Comment 2 Tim Buschtoens CLA 2012-02-17 09:59:32 EST 
Fixed in CVS HEAD.
