Description Tod Creasey

Acelerators do not work when OLE editor is activated.
1) Open a *.txt file
2) Open a *.bmp file (should open MS Paint)
3) Try Crlt F6
** Nothing happens. There is no way to switch to other view
or editor using keyboard.

Esc will get you out of the OLE Editor and back into Eclipse. Reclassifying as 
usability as it is possible to do the work but not very nice.

Currently I cannot get away from the OLE Editor even if the Ecs key is pressed. 
See Bug 11847

Duplicate - OLE editors are given the opportinity to process acclerators first. 
If they consume the event there is nothing we can do about it.
