Hello!

I haven't submitted to this task list before - do let me know if I should re-categorize.

I've been using Eclipse for about ten years now, and have become very proficient with it's keyboard shortcuts.  So much so that I admire the platform's ability to support touch-typing without using a mouse!

The past few releases for Mac OS X have a few issues where the keyboard focus seems to be lost.  For instance, I'll find myself in a state where Eclipse won't respond to keyboard shortcuts (such as CTRL-M to maximize a window).  As I've been tracking this issue, I've noticed that if I quickly APPLE-TAB to another application and back to Eclipse then Eclipse will respond as normal.

A quick way to reproduce this issue is to maximize the current editor and, while the editor is maximized, close all open editors.

Let me know if I can provide more information!

		Eric

I cannot reproduce the bug on Windows 7, so it seems to be Mac OS X specific.
