Description Markus Keller CLA 2009-05-28 08:27:57 EDT 
I20090527-2000, follow-up to bug 278186.

The Esc key should cancel an operation that is executed via IWorkbenchWindow#run(boolean, boolean, IRunnableWithProgress).

Currently, when I e.g. select a reference to Object and then open the Quick Type Hierarchy (Ctrl+T), all widgets in the window get disabled, and the focus is nowhere. To cancel the operation, I either have to click the red button or press 'Tab, Enter'. Esc does nothing.

For accessibility reasons, it would probably also be good to set the focus to the cancel button (and still restore the original focus after the operation is done).

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.
