- Make sure you have more then one window opened
- Open any dialog on eclipse (import dialog for example).
- Go to another application (IE for example) and forget that the dialog is 
opened.
- Using Alt+TAB or that Windows Task bar, switch to an Eclipse window (not the 
dialog parent)
- Try using an accelerator (CTROL+Shift+T)

Nothing happens. Seems like Eclipse is not working. Only when you use the 
mouse and click on anything, the dialog come to front.

We should not allow any Eclipse Window to be in front of a dialog.

Not sure if this is UI or SWT.

The actual case is different.

Open several eclipse windows
Open a dialog
Click on a non Eclipse window
Click on an Eclipse window other than the one with the dialog.

I found that on my machine I had to click twice in this case - once to bring 
thr window up and once to move it to the front but Eduardos machine does not 
bring it to the front.

Moving to SWT

Word 2000 handles this correctly.

Steve has a WM_ACTIVATEAPP up his sleeve.

Chris,
This is on a list of bug reports that need to be fixed for R2.1 so I am 
increasing the priority to P1.

In the following use case, Word 2000's behaviour looks wrong. Eclipse seems fine.
- Open a Word window
- Open a second Word window (File > new)
- From the second Word window, open the modal about dialog (Help > About )
-Hide the second Word window and the about dialog with another application 
(Internet Explorer for example). Ensure the first Word window is still visible.
- click on the first Word window. 

'nothing' happens. Expected: the second Word Window should come to the 
forefront, showing the About dialog on the top.

Whatever way we fix this PR, we should verify we didn't break this use case.
