Description Remy Suen CLA 2011-07-14 13:55:59 EDT 
More often than not, when I bring up the commit dialog and try to hit Ctrl+A, instead of selecting all the text it selects everything in the 'Package Explorer' (the previously active view) for me.
Comment 1 Remy Suen CLA 2011-07-14 16:11:39 EDT 
The problem is that the stack renderer will activate a part asynchronously. So when the commit dialog completes the calculation of values and the progress dialog is closed, the workbench window itself is activated temporarily before the commit dialog comes up. At this point, the renderer gets the event and queues up a request to activate the part asynchronously. The commit dialog opens up and then the request is processed so the part gets activated and starts getting hijacking all the keybindings.

One workaround is to Alt+Tab out of and back into Eclipse as that will get the dialog's context activated.
