AutoCompleteField doesn't work in RCP Application Wizard

Hi all,

I have a problem with org.eclipse.jface.fieldassist.AutoCompleteField.

We have developed a Wizard plug-in that makes use of org.eclipse.jface.fieldassist.AutoCompleteField.

When we launch the plug-in directly inside Eclipse it works fine, but when we launch it as an RCP application the AutoCompleteField doesn't display any suggestion.

We have managed to trace the problem down to the suggestions window not being shown. Everything else works fine (suggestions are found and no exceptions are thrown)

In RCP, the Wizard is created and started at ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor.preWindowOpen() and therefore the main window is never displayed (the wizard window takes control of the application first).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
