On forms as find/search the text fields are disabled.

Reproducible: Always

Could you be more specific?
If this bug should be processed there need to be a proper example to reproduce the fault.
As I think I do have a similiar problem, but cannot make up what you mean I'll file a new bug.

Some where on Ubuntu forums I found the description of the same issue. I don't have the link to it :(. There was written that the problem is the old version of the SWT and it don't implement the new API which was included in GTK version of Ubuntu. The solution was to do export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 before start eclipse in the terminal.
So, now my eclipse start script looks like:
#! /bin/sh
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
/home/erani/apps/eclipse/eclipse -vmargs -Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m

The solution 100% work, but if the problem is API I am not sure.

>On forms as find/search the text fields are disabled.
Do you mean the Find/Replace (Ctrl+F) dialog in the editor?
Comment 5 Bastian Feder CLA 2010-05-17 04:11:39 EDT 
As far as I can reproduce the problem does exist in almost every dialog (e.g. New Project, Search (CTRL + F)). 
As the tabbing through the form is not effected, I cannot use the mouse to click on them. 

Nevertheless I agree with Andrei that his solution addressed in an earlier comment does fix the problem.

This appears to be duplicate of bug#291257. Can you please confirm the buildID of eclipse you are using to reproduce the problem ?
I guess the reported problem is definitely fixed in the recent versions of Eclipse.
Comment 7 Bogdan Gheorghe CLA 2010-09-27 14:42:39 EDT 
SWT in Eclipse 3.6 had a number of fixes in it to support the changes to GDK window released in 2.18. Please try out the 3.6 release and reopen this bug if you are still seeing the problem. Thanks!

Closing as a duplicate of 291257.
