I am using a TableCursor in conjunction with a TableViewer. This is working fine
apart from one issue, which arises when the table 'model' is updated underneath
the cursor. When this occurs the rest of the table refreshes OK, but the content
selected by the cursor remains unchanged. The following snippet demonstrates the
problem:

button.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
            public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
                populateTable();
                viewer.refresh();
            }

TableCursor cursor = new TableCursor(table, SWT.NONE);

editor.grabHorizontal = true;

shell.pack();

while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}

display.dispose();
}

    private static void populateTable() {
        counter++; // cause each redraw to be different
        Date now = new Date(); // different date too
                data.clear();
                for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            data.add(now.toString() + " #" + counter + '/' + i);
}
    }

    private static class ArrayContentProvider implements
IStructuredContentProvider {
        public ArrayContentProvider() {}
        public void dispose() {}
        public void inputChanged(Viewer viewer, Object oldInput, Object newInput) {}

        public Object[] getElements(Object inputElement) {
            return ((List)inputElement).toArray();
        }
    }

    private static class ArrayLabelProvider implements ITableLabelProvider {

        public ArrayLabelProvider() {}
        public boolean isLabelProperty(Object element, String property) { return
false; }
        public Image getColumnImage(Object element, int columnIndex) { return
null; }
        public void addListener(ILabelProviderListener listener) { }
        public void removeListener(ILabelProviderListener listener) { }
        public void dispose() {}

        public String getColumnText(Object element, int columnIndex) {
            return element.toString() + " col" + columnIndex;
        }
    }
}

The problem occurs both in the case when the model changes its content and when
a totally new model is specified, i.e. by calling viewer.setInput() with a new
input value.
