[news.eclipse.platform.swt] VerifyListener problem

Hi all,

First off, my goal is to have a Text Widget that only contains uppercase input, regardless of whether shift is held or caps lock is on. Since I have not found anyway of doing this using a style bit, I am doing so using the VerifyListener below (please let me know if there is a proper way of telling a Text Widget to convert all input to uppercase!!):

VerifyListener verifyListener = new VerifyListener()
{
    public void verifyText(VerifyEvent e)
    {
         e.text = e.text.toUpperCase();
    }
};

Anyway, the issue I am seeing with adding a verifyListener to a Text Widget is that shift+backspace does not perform a backspace for some reason, as it does when the verifyListener is not added to the Text Widget. I don't believe this has anything to do with the uppercase line because the same thing happens with an empty verifyText method. Is this a known issue? Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks,
Derek
