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

[Peter Palaga]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I was not able to find any sign of this bug on bugs.eclipse.com although 
I am experiencing it since Eclipse 3.7.
Probably, it is Linux or even KDE specific.

Does anybody know if it is filed somewhere?

Could please anybody try to reproduce it under Gnome, Mac or Windows?

Steps to reproduce:

(1) File > New > Java Project

(2) Open the dropdown menu of any combo box (there are three of them 
there) either by mouse or keyboard. Close the dropdown menu in any way 
(focus out, select an item or hit space)

(3) Focus the Project Name text field and try to type some character. 
UNEXPECTED: No char appears in the text field.

Reproducible also in other dialogs, e.g. SVN Commit, Git Create Tag, ...


Workaround:

(i) Paste some text into the text field (use either context menu of the 
text field or middle-click)

(ii) Cut some part of the text in the text field away (select by mouse 
and context menu > Cut)

After (ii) the text field accepts keyboard events again.

Note that (i) is necessary only if there is no text in the text field.


Thanks,

Peter
