[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Focus Problems

[Mahesh Soori <msoori@xxxxxxxx>]

I finally figured out the problem.  The problem was that I was calling

        baseTable.setCapture(true);

Somehow, this was causing the focus to be to be moved to the new tab, 
but wasnt letting the framework know that the focus has moved to a 
different view.  Removing that line made everything work right.  This is 
a method in the Control.java class and not sure why I was calling it in 
the first place.

Thanks
Mahesh
