[news.eclipse.tools] Re: menu accelerator question

[rr.cm@xxxxxxx (Ron)]

Pls see "MultpageEditor Accelerator problem" later in the message listing
(4/15).

To your additional point, in our app, where the TextEditor's page is index
1, the clipboard and undo/redo items are enabled as appropriate.  However,
if I Cut some text and then Undo the operation, the file remains
'modified' (i.e., the Cut doesn't look undone, even though the text
reappears)...  We haven't modified the basic TextEditor functionality, so
I'm not sure what would be causing this.  It was also happening before I
implemented Tobias' workaround.

cheers,

Ron
