Comment originally from Bogdan

On Linux, during a resize, there will be no focus control set (can't do
anything about that).

We might be able to get around the problem by checking the current active
shell. If it is the same as the table's shell then run away, else keep going.
This seemed to work on both Win32 and Linux, but some more testing is
warranted.

Something like this:

protected void checkFocusLost(final Table table, final Text text) {
   table.getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
     public void run() {
       if (!table.isDisposed() && !text.isDisposed()) {
>>       if (table.getDisplay().getActiveShell() == table.getShell()) return;

[Rest is unchanged]

Patch

Needed to add a set text.setFocus() to Bogdan's suggestion to allow the table to close after a resize when other widgets are selected.

On Linux, the table and SearchField loose focus during the resize.  So if we prevent the table close during resize none of the widgets that are capable of closing the table when the SearchField loose focus have focus.

This fix seems to work on Linux and does not adversely effect Windows
