No, 3.3.2 is pretty well closed (and should be available by the end of Feb).

If your control has focus but the FocusControlSourceProvider is not 
providing that variable that's a bug (of some kind).  Please open a bug 
report at 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform&component=UI&short_desc=[Services]

It can't be fixed in 3.3.2 but it should be fixed in 3.4


Later,
