Description Douglas Pollock CLA 2003-11-10 17:31:16 EST 
Someone using only a keyboard does not have the ability to 
insert "Backspace", "Tab" and "Shift+Tab" as it is right now.  The last two 
are not important, but "Backspace" is.  The problem is that tabbing into the 
widget selects all the text.  Ideally, tabbing into the widget *from the 
buttonAddKey only* should not select the text, but should position the cursor 
at the end of the text widget.

I'm going to have to defer this bug until after M6.  SWT cannot provide the
required support in time.

Fixed in HEAD.  I'm not sure why I was having so many problems before.  The
problem seemed simple to solve....

But then again, SWT did say they did work.  Ah, well....
