Description Douglas Pollock CLA 2003-09-10 10:56:18 EDT
By switching desktops away from Eclipse and then back, it appears as if focus
has been given to two places, and the wrong one has keyboard control.  This is
using I20030909, Linux-GTK, KDE, RedHat 9.0.

STEPS:
1.) Ctrl+F to open the Find/Replace dialog in a Java source file.
2.) Type something into the find text widget.
3.) Switch desktops away and then back.
4.) Type something into the find text widget.

OBSERVED RESULTS:
For step #2, the find/replace dialog is the only thing that is shaded as if it
has focus.  The Eclipse main window as well as the internal source editor are
"greyed" (shaded as if they have no focus).

For step #4, the text appears in the source editor.  The find/replace dialog,
the Eclipse main window, *and* the find/replace dialog are all shaded as if they
have focus.

If you "roll up" the find/replace dialog and then unroll it, the situation
returns to step #2.  However, just clicking on the find/replace dialog does not
fix the situation.  Reopening the dialog also fixes the problem.

EXPECTED RESULTS:
Step #4 should look like step #2 ideally.  At the very least, one should clearly
have focus, and clicking should transfer focus.

Doug, reopen if this happens again.  Low priority.

I've been able to reproduce this bug with other GTK applications.  It is not an
SWT bug, but is is not WORKSFORME either.  I'll change it....
