Created attachment 261518 [details] standalone SWT issue Seen in Neon 4.6.0.I20160428-0800 Links in a dialog do not trigger an action when that dialog was opened as the result of clicking on a Link. This seems to be a bug introduced by the platform as I can't reproduce the problem in a standalone SWT app (attached). Steps to repeat: the easiest way to reproduce is to use the JEE package: 1. Open the Servers view. Remove any existing servers so you have a Link showing: "No servers are available. Click this link to create a new server." 2. Click on the link to open the New Server dialog. 3. Make sure the check is OFF at the top of the dialog beside the "Show downloadable server adapters" link. The link should be enabled. 4. Click on the link. See it does nothing. If you instead open this dialog through the New Wizard (File > New or Ctrl-N, Server > New Server), the Show downloadable server adapters pops up a big server discovery dialog.
I was able to reproduce in 4.5.2 too. I originally stumbled across this in a project properties page from the "Google Plugin for Eclipse" that uses a Link to open a dialog where I wanted to select another Link. Hmm, if I trigger that example from a ViewPart, the links in child shells still work. There seems to be some interplay with Dialogs.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
Brian is this still an issue in 4.11 M3? I can't test since I don't have a Mac.
WTP have since removed the "Show downloadable server adapters" link in the New Server wizard. There is a different link in the wizard though, "Configure runtime environments…", which works fine. So I'll close this as WORKSFORME.
