I20040317
In the context menu for text fields I see Undo, Cut, and so on. The following 
accelerators work for these actions:

 Ctrl-Z               - Undo
 Ctrl-X and Shift-Del - Cut
 Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Ins  - Copy
 Ctrl-V and Shift-Ins - Paste
 Del                  - Delete

but this doesn't:

 Ctrl-A               - Select All <-- doesn't work

For example, select Window > Preferences > Workbench. Click in the Workspace 
save interval field and press Ctrl-A for Select All. It just beeps. Now try 
any Windows app, for example, IE on this bugzilla form. Right click on a text 
field gives the same context menu, but Ctrl-A works by selecting all the text 
in the field.

Other keys like Home, Shift-End, and so forth work fine in Eclipse text 
fields, like a native app. Ctrl-A is the only one that has the problem as far 
as I've noticed.

This is fixed in I200403250010.  This is a duplicate of Bug 55951 (and others).  
Sorry to mark this a duplicate of a later bug....
