[jbosstools-dev] Text fields not editable after opening and closing a dropdown menu

The fixes named there have to do with scim. There is no trace of scim on 
my system either between running processes or input methods available in 
Eclipse.

Yes, probably. I just found that the issue is also reproducible with 
Firefox Save as... dialog. Opening and closing File Type combo makes 
file name non-editable. However, it is not reproducible e.g. in Firefox

It is similar with LibreOffice Writer: Reproducible with Save as... but 
not reproducible with e.g. Options... > LibreOffice > Colors.

Reproducible also with Pidgin > Buddies > Add Chat. Opening and closing 
Group combo makes Channel name non-editable.
But it is not reproducible with the Account combo in the same dialog. 
Opening and closing the Account combo leaves Channel name editable.

The problem seems to be limited to GTK dialogs in KDE.
After searching with proper key words I found it here 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299121 and here 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675180
The important message is that it was fixed in gtk 2.24.12 and 3.4.4.

Thanks for your assistance,

Peter
