RC1

- Open the preferences
- In the tree, navigate to Java->Task Tags
- press Tab

-> sash between tree and preference page has focus, although this is not visible
-> use the cursor right / left keys to change the ration between tree and page

expected: the preferences dialog keeps its overall size, just the internal ratio
is changed
actual: with every resize the dialog gets wider

Closing this one.  It is stale.

In 3.2, the prefs dialog does not give focus to the sash.  In the scenario described, if I press tab from the "Task Tags" entry in the tree, the focus goes to the "previous" navigation button inside the task tags page and cursor left/right has no effect.  I tabbed through the whole page and verified that I get back to the tree without ever landing on the sash, and there is no funky resize behavior.
