Description Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2001-10-13 01:15:36 EDT 
build 204
- Open the preferences dialog
- Expand the Java tree root
- Click on "Code Formatter"
The entire Preferences dialog disappears for several seconds before it displays 
the Code Formatter page.

- Click on "Compiler"
Same thing - the dialog completely disappears. Very wierd feeling for the user.

- Now click on "Templates". The dialog disappears again. This time, I didn't 
think it was going to come back. But it did, maybe a minute later.

No hourglass, no dialog, no indication of what is going on.

Same thing just happened when clicking on Java Build Path in the Project 
Properties dialog. The Project Properties dialog disappeared and the page took 
a minute to open before the dialog came back. Coincidentally, all of these bad 
preferences pages have a TabFolder in them. I am beginning to strongly suspect 
that something bad happened to TabFolder in SWT on Windows 98. Moving PR to SWT.

Fixed with SN.  We now lock the current window in place whenever setting the 
window position of a tool tip to HWND_TOPMOST.  This occurs in two places:
   TabFolder.createHandle()
   ToolBar.createHandle()
