- using the 4.2M5 candidate build
- happens on 64-bit AIX, but works fine on 32-bit AIX and 64-bit Linux
- appears to be specific to 64-bit AIX, so perhaps a native problem

There are two places where this problem shows in eclipse.  I suspect that they have the same root cause, though this is not proven.  It looks like ON_TOP Shells may be sending incorrect events (too many or too few).  The two cases:

1. Use Ctrl+Space to show content assist in a java editor.  Once it's shown, move the pointer into the shell containing the suggestions and it will close immediately (pretty bad).

2. Type 'a' in the "Quick Access" text that's up in the page's banner, which shows a shell with suggestions.  Note that any time the pointer is over the shell that keystrokes do not go to the text, but they should.

SWT no longer provides AIX builds.
