Description Dave Thomson CLA 2002-05-30 22:54:31 EDT 
When certain dialogs are being displayed, and you click on the window that you 
were using when the dialog came up, the window does not come to the front - 
only the dialog does.  This is incorrect behavior.  I have seen it in a couple 
places - in confirmation dialogs, and in progress dialogs (I was testing Get 
and Synchronize in target management).

To see this behavior, in the simple confirmation dialog case, do the following:
Select a file in the navigator.
Press Delete.
Confirmation dialog appears.
Select another window in the task bar to obscure the eclipse window.
Now select the eclipse window in the task bar again.
Only the confirmation dialog comes to the front.
Both the eclipse window AND the dialog should come to the front.
Many dialogs do work correctly - for example New Project etc.
However some, like confirmation and progress (some? all?) do not work.

Noticed that the Packages view's delete confirmation dialog works properly, 
but Navigator's does not.  The Navigator just uses MessageDialog.openQuestion, 
and seems to be setting the parent shell correctly (no separate item for the 
dialog in the task tray).

Cannot replicate on Win 2000 or Windows 98 in build 20020529.
Comment 3 Dave Thomson CLA 2002-05-31 10:24:18 EDT 
I am able to repeat on 98 in Build 0530 in both navigator and packages view.
Comment 4 Dave Thomson CLA 2002-05-31 11:00:54 EDT 
Additional information.  Does NOT happen if you have IE 5 installed.  It DOES 
happen if you have IE 6 installed.
Comment 5 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-05-31 16:31:45 EDT 
Confirmed that we are setting the parent shell properly.
Could not reproduce it on my work machine which is also running XP with IE 6.
Marking later to match bug 18483.

Reopened for investigation
Comment 7 Eduardo Pereira CLA 2002-09-06 10:32:58 EDT 
Moving to SWT for comment. Should we be doing something else but opening with a 
parent?
Comment 8 Mike Wilson CLA 2002-09-06 11:40:43 EDT 
SN to investigate *further*.
Comment 9 Steve Northover CLA 2002-09-10 11:39:46 EDT 
Are you opening with a parent?  Does this fix the problem?
