Description Guillaume Von Tokarski

2012-05-30 04:16:59 EDT

Build Identifier: 20110916-0149

The machine is on RedHat.
The application display is exported on themachine:0.1 (secondary screen)

When the application is on this display, the StyledText won't work. It is not even possible to write any character, as if the keyboard was disconnected.

I've tried other SWT widgets, like a Text or a Spinner and it works well on 0.1.
Of course, when the exported display is 0.0, there is no problem.

This issue is not caused by the application: I made a small program with only a display, a shell, and a StyledText and it didn't work as well on 0.1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. export the display on machine:0.1
2. launch the application
3. click on the StyledText field
4. write something => the field remains empty

I cannot reproduce this issue with SWT from master as of today, GTK3.22, and Fedora 28.
