Launch any dialog box.
When you tab through the controls on the dialog, the help button on the bottom left of the dialog never gain any focus.

I don't think this is an accessibility issue because Help can still be invoked with F1.

I notice that the ToolBar that the help item lives within is being created with style SWT.NO_FOCUS, which explains why it's not in the tab-traversal order.  So this appears to be by design.

Moving report to UI in case they want to second-guess the exclusion of this item from the tab-traversal order.  Otherwise this seems like a WONTFIX.

Agree that as long as it's accessible via F1 we should be fine, but cc'ing Curtis for comment before closing...

Same as bug 144238. Ideally you should be able to get to it so I left that bug open, but it is not high priority.
