I20110729-0200 (4.2) - open an editor - press Command+3 or click into the Quick Access field - press Command+F12 to activate the editor again => does nothing Activate Editor works fine if the editor didn't have focus before. I think the quick access control needs to be treated as separate part when it comes to keyboard activation. Currently, it steals the editor's focus but leaves editor actions active: E.g. Option+Shift+Left/Right extends the selection in the editor. Even worse, Option+Up/Down moves a line in the editor.
Same on Windows 7 but with F12 instead of Command+F12.

This binding issue becomes particularly annoying with single-character keybindings (e.g., "g" in an non-textual parts). I'm guessing this problem exists with any text field in a workbench tool contribution. It looks similar to the workaround in bug 346390. There, in #346390c4, Paul wrote: > In Eclipse 4 the architecturally correct solution would look like creating an > IEclipseContext for that control and making it the active child of the Window > context while that control is active.

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.
