Description Eric Jodet CLA 2007-12-06 07:05:26 EST 
Version: 3.4.0
Build id: I20071204-1547

With my T60 laptop keyboard, the Fn key is located left from the Ctrl key, which means that ctrl+space is easily confused with Fn+space.
The end result is a screen resolution change (640x480) and revert if pressing again Fn+space.

When this occurs, all apps are resized to smaller, but when reverting back by pressing again, all RCP apps remain in smaller size.

Tried the same test using the Hello World snippet downloaded at http://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets/
which resulted in the same behavior: the Hello World window is not reverted back to its original size.

Do the other applications return to the right size?

Yes Steve,
the problem is visible only for Eclipse.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
