Description Kari Ikonen CLA 2003-01-21 11:26:43 EST
Switch editor/view/pers.:
When pressing CTRL+F6/F7/F8 on Windows it is possible to browse
proper element from the popupwindow using arrowkeys. This is not working
on Linux version.

Search/Task/etc.:
If selected element is removed from the list due to external action 
(e.g. problem was fixed) then jumping back to view doesn't work using
keyboard. Focus seems to be lost. This behaviour seems to happen in
multiple locations.

OpenType... etc. -dialog:
It looks that element in the middle matchlist is selected, but
it seems that focus cannot be moved into that list using keyboard
to select another entry. Same problem seems to exist in multiple
locations were some selection list exists.

This is happening because Ctrl+Arrow moves the focus rectangle of a GTK table 
without moving the selection.  This is operating system behavior that we should 
not be working around.

Moving to UI.

Ok, now moving to UI for comment.

Really, one day soon I will successfully move this PR to UI for comment.

ok, I don't know if this is bug of GTK or Eclipse, but still e.g.
in import dialog, if I press ALT+S to jump into selection list.
Then focus is moved into list (at least it seems to change
highlight color for selected element). Since focus is now on
list arrow keys should work, but they are not working.
They start to work only when I click on the list with mouse.
CTRL+Arrow didn't work any better there.

your Ctrl+F6,F7,F8 problem is a duplicate of 14775. as for the other focus 
issues, should they remain (and not also be related to 14775), please log a 
specific bug to SWT.
