Description Nick Edgar CLA 2001-11-21 16:54:58 EST 
Build 20011120.

- go to Java build path properties on a Java project
- give focus to a control in the tab folder
- change tabs (either with mouse, or using CTRL+PAGE_UP or CTRL+PAGE_DOWN)
- focus is lost

- if focus was on the tab, it should go to the new tab
- if focus on another control in the tab folder, it should go to the first 
control in the new page

This is problematic for keyboard accessibility.

In build 20020412, focus stays on tabs correctly, but is lost if control within 
folder had focus.
Comment 2 Mike Wilson CLA 2002-04-17 13:30:03 EDT 
required for accessibility.
Comment 3 Veronika Irvine CLA 2002-04-18 10:22:20 EDT 
Fixed on Windows.
Now when a control is set to not visible, the focus is fixed to find the first 
parent that can take focus.

Tested on Motif.  Not an issue on motif because what now happens in Windows 
happens automatically on Motif.

Will verify on GTK 1.2 and GTK 2 and Photon.
Comment 4 Veronika Irvine CLA 2002-05-15 16:50:42 EDT 
fixed.
