Description Arnaud MERGEY CLA 2012-04-17 08:24:41 EDT 
Following http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/330736/
If a KeyListener is attached to a Text widget, and the text is updated during a key event is fired, Text selection on server side, is not in sync anymore with client selection position.

The attached application show a reproducible case:

 put the caret somewhere in the Text widget (in view) and press key PageUp, the text is updated and the caret position go to the end, but it should remains to current char according to code.
 
It seems the reason for that is selection is not preserved when keyEvent is processed, as updating RWT with attached patch solve the issue (I know my patch is not a fix for this issue, but maybe it can help to understand it)
