I20110127-2034, Windows 7 (is OK on Windows XP) - ControlExample > Shell - click SWT.SHELL_TRIM and Parent - click Create Shell - Alt+Tab to another window - Alt+Tab => was: ControlExample shell active => expected: child shell should be active This is also a problem in the SDK, e.g. when you are in a text editor and open the Find/Replace dialog (Ctrl+F).
This is quite annoying, since it affects all modeless shells. In the SDK, this also includes detached views.
I can also reproduce a similar problem with the refactoring preview window (e.g. inline method > "Preview >"). However, that dialog is SWT.DIALOG_TRIM | SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL | SWT.MAX | SWT.RESIZE, but I cannot reproduce the same problem in the ControlExample.
This doesn't happen when I switch applications using the task bar, but it also happens on Windows+Tab. With the Find/Replace dialog, this bug is just annoying, but there are other cases, where I don't know how to bring focus into the dialog again without clicking it (e.g. Pull and Fetch Result dialogs in EGit nightly, see bug 35886).
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
