Description Chris Goldthorpe CLA 2006-09-15 13:50:32 EDT 
Launch Eclipse 
Help/Help Contents
In the help browser select the search tab
Search for "platform"
Select the first hit
Use the down arrow key to move down through the results

Expected result: Each time the down arrow is pressed the next item is shown.
Actual result: It works this way for a while but after about the 70th result it stops advancing and starts to move the scrollbar. With other searches this happens a lot quicker, or not at all depending on the number of hits.

This happens also using Internet Explorer or Firefox is used as the browser.

Chris, please include the build-id you are using and the installed Callisto products/components you have.  I tried the testcase using just the Eclipse SDK and didn't get 70 results.  I was able to scroll through all of them using the down arrow key.

I suppose I should mention I used 3.2 (M20060629-1905)
Comment 3 Chris Goldthorpe CLA 2006-09-29 14:40:44 EDT 
I just reproduced the problem using this version, and on two different machines running Windows XP. 

Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.2.0
Build id: M20060629-1905

The number of times I have to hit the down arrow to make it occur seems to be inconsistent.

This was a problem with event bubbling which caused the focus to be lost. Tested on IE and Firefox.
