Description Greg Smolyn CLA 2002-01-30 21:50:21 EST
This might be a problem for the JDT gang, but it seems to only be appearing in
the GTK version.

Open up a java workspace, and select a method (click once). 
Left click to bring up the context menu, go down to "References" and search in
the workspace or hierarchy or whatever.

If you have just opened the workspace, the program will beep.  I guess
signalling  nothing found.  

If you double click on the method instead (not quite sure the difference, though
I think double clicking causes the method's name to be selected in the editor
pane).  Then try finding the references again. It will find them.

The real problem is after a reference has been found-- you usually click twice
on it to bring it up in the editor to look at.  Then if you go over to the
overview pane again and either (a) click once to select and then right click on
a method or (b) just right click on a method, you will instead find that when
you search for references again, you will bring up the references that is
highlighted in the editor. Quite confusing!

Sounds like focus issues.

It's the "random focus grab".  We have resolved some of the symptoms, but some 
weird things are still happening.  Right now, this is marked "priority #1".

Fixed.
