I20030211 Open the help browser. Right-click on the item in the windows task bar. Notice the context menu appears and then quickly disappears. This is inconsistent with other windows apps, including the workbench. I suspect there is some focus oddness going on.
The problem seems to be caused by the embedding of the IE's web browser activeX component in SWT. I've seen a similar behavior when using the SWT example OLE Web Browser view. Launch the OLE Web Browser view and navigate to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/allclasses-noframe.html (you need a page with a reasonable large number of links, or any focusable elements). Now try the context menu for the workbench, on the task bar. You'll notice the focus problems. I will move this to SWT.
This also happens with Windows 2000.
