Pressing tab multiple times, results in focus following all links, and then getting lost. It does not come back to the first link. It is required to use Sthift-tab to get the focus back to the last link. Shift-tab works O.K., i.e. when focus is on the first link, pressing the combination (twice) will bring the focus to the last link.
Same problem on Solaris
And Linux motif.
The doit field of an traverse event is false when delivered to shell's traverse listener. This is only the case when "Tab" is pressed. When "Shift-Tab" is used the doit is true. We do not change the doit, and the event gets canceled.
These are SWT bugs. The traverse listener should not be called at all when tab is pressed. I have released a workaround in help to set doit to true.
I have opened bug 33776, bug 33777, bug 33778 agains SWT regarding tab key and focus issues.
The SWT bug 33776 has been fixed. I have tested today's nightly build, and it appears the the workaround is no longer needed. I will remove it from our code.
