Description Wim Jongman CLA 2011-10-14 04:47:27 EDT 
Hi,

On linux when a jface dialog is opened before fetching the current selection from the HandlerUtil in the handler's execute method, the call

HandlerUtil.getCurrentSelection(event)

returns null.

This is different from windows where this does not occur.
