Default focus on combo and scrolling [message #528810] |

Hi,
We're using the Forms stuff to implement an editor in a plug-in. We recently updated the version of Eclipse we're using to Galileo, and have found a change in the behavior. It' used to be that when default focus was set on the editor pane, the focus would be set on a BusyIndicator in the FomrHeading. However, setFocus() for BusyIndicator has been overridden in the current code to simply return false.
The first active control on one tab is a combo box. I have users/testers who had gotten used to using the mouse wheel to scroll the form, but now that changes the option selected in the combo box.
Does anyone have any suggestion on how to keep the focus from going to the combo box? I don't want to change the behavior of that combo. Any suggestions on a control that user's won't notice that will take the focus instead?

Thanks for the suggestion. I realize this isn't correct Eclipse behavior, but my users/testers were used to the old behavior where the combo box wasn't selected. Due to that expectation, they would scroll with the mouse wheel automatically, causing the combo box to change value, as well as altering dependent content on the form. The other solution we tried was to select the tab folder. This disabled the scrolling behavior.
