Description Nicolas Hoibian CLA 2015-03-16 10:37:57 EDT 
When opening a search window (Search / search ...), pressing "tab" to go from the "Containing text" field to another one doesn't work, at least in the File search tab (I deactivated the other tabs).

- expected behavior: pressing tab would highlight the next button or text field.

The Tab key work as expected in the find window (Edit / find-replace, Ctrl-F).

This works fine for me using I20150316-2000.

What do you mean "it doesn't work"? Focus stays in the text field?

Are you using GTK+3? If so, can you test using GTK+2?

--launcher.GTK_version <value> (Executable)  Linux ONLY
    specifies which version of GTK+ will be used by Eclipse on Linux. The currently acceptable values are "2" for GTK+ 2.x and "3" for GTK+ 3.x. If specified, this parameter takes precedence over setting the SWT_GTK3 environment variable.

Indeed, pressing the Tab key does not change the focuses field. Furthermore, keyboards shortcuts don;t work either (at least Ctrl-a & Ctrl-e).

I am now running with "--launcher.GTK_version 2" towards the end of my eclipse.ini and that didn't change any of my bugs. Is there a way to check that the parameter is not ignored? the UI didn't seem to change.

You can check the property org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.version in the configuration details (Help > About Eclipse SDK > Installation Details).

I'm pretty sure this is the same as bug 462007.
