Description Dani Megert CLA 2002-01-22 03:48:59 EST 
Build I20020115

1. Start a long operation (e.g. have Eclipse in your workspace and do a full build)
2. Switch to another application (e.g. Netscape)
3. Switch back to Eclipse
==> The modal dialog is brought to top BUT the workbench stays behind the other
application. This is confusing and not Windows-like behavior.

Same happens on Windows2000

Is this possible with SWT? Pls advise. An example showing what needs to be done 
would be great.

Actually, it *is* windows behavior, since we are not doing something to 
explicitely prevent the window from coming forward. We will investigate.

I looked at this quickly and tried Wordpad to see if it had different 
behavior.  I wasn't sure we had to do something special to get this to happen 
but I will investigate.

Suspect this is the same as 16023.
