Description Leif Frenzel CLA 2004-12-02 05:42:51 EST 
I open the Preference page Java > Compiler > Building. I expand the first item
and select with the mouse the tree item 'Building' on the left again. Repeatedly
using the tab key selects first the textfield 'Maximum number ...', then the
next expandable item etc. From there, I go back with Shift-Tab, which behaves
correctly (doesn't skip the first item).

Leif, which build are you using.
Comment 2 Leif Frenzel CLA 2004-12-02 06:11:21 EST 
Aeks, sorry ... the last integration build, I200412011139.
Comment 3 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2004-12-11 10:24:36 EST 
I suspect that the problem is that the expandable composite does not really take
the focus. It just forwards it to it's children (default implementation of
Composite). That's either the Twistie (what makes sense, or the first control in
the body

Moving to [ui.forms]

Confirmed - the first item is skipped in forward tabbing, but not in backward. 
This is not related to the expansion state - it happens when the composite is 
collapsed as well.

I cannot reproduce this on 3.4 RC3. Closing.
