Description Pratik Shah CLA 2005-05-23 19:41:05 EDT 
On GTK, when I bring up a text celleditor's context menu (by right-clicking or 
via the keyboard), the celleditor loses focus and is closed.

Proof of concept patch

When context menus open, GTK+ sends focus events to the affected widgets.

The attached patch demonstrates how to detect when a GtkEntry's popup menu is
about to be displayed, and how to block the corresponding FocusOut event. 
There is some prior art for this solution: it is basically how GTK+ ignores the
focus event for their own cell editors.

While this solution is appealing, it is dangerous, and I think it may be too
late for 3.1.  Note that this problem is reproducable in Eclipse 3.0.

I can no longer reproduce this issue.
