Description Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2012-03-29 08:12:24 EDT 
Eclipse 4.2 M6

Eclipse 4.2 creates toolbars with only 1 separator tool in them to separate the toolbars. (This simulates the old coolbar).
On Windows, tab traversal ignores the separator-only-toolbars (which is good).
On Mac, tab traverses to the separator-only-toolbar, and this is not good.
To see this, traverse in the forward direction with ctrl+tab until you reach the toolbar. Then keep tabbing forward, and notice that there are too many tab keys required to tab from toolbar to toolbar.
Comment 1 Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2012-03-29 08:14:36 EDT 
Raising severity to major because this has the added effect of causing the user to get "stuck" after tabbing through several toolbars. After that point, neither forward or backward traversal work at all.

Car, please try the latest. Separators only toolbars will not take focus. I was not able to reproduce the getting stuck problem. See if you can still reproduce it.
