Description Christopher Deckers CLA 2010-10-18 13:03:20 EDT 
Build Identifier: SWT N20101017-2000

When adding input events to trigger certain actions, they stop working after a link calling a JS action is clicked.
This was tested with a recent nightly build and 3.6, both have the issue. I only tried with IE.

For some users, this can be very problematic.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Browser with mouse/key listeners.
2. invoke a link in the form <a href="javascript:void(0)"> or <a href="javascript:alert('a text')">
3. Click/type in the browser: events are not sent anymore.

More links example

The bug is more serious: other kind of links cause the events to not be received anymore! Links that allow to download a file have this nasty effect too. This new attached test case adds 2 static links.
