Hi,

we embedded an Editor in a Preference page. During the creation of the preference page we create the Source Viewer and call org.eclipse.ui.contexts.IContextService.activateContext(String, Expression)
to activate our context.

this works fine if our preference page is not the one that is shown at opening (first opening in session)

if we then switch to our preference page and close and reopen the preference dialog then on the activation keybinding problems are reported cause the contexts of the main window are still active and the context switch in org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.swt.ShellActivationListener.activate(Shell)
did not happen yet.

how can this be solved. what is the intended way to activate our own context in the usecase?

see also https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-eclipse/issues/1361 for more details

Thanks
Christian
