Hi,

I have a composite with form layout and have a few widgets on it including
a ccombo (editable), a text and a styled text. Also I have added selection
and focus out listener to the ccombo.

Now when I select the text in the ccombo and then try to select the text
in the text widget or the styledtext widget instead of getting the cursor
to show at the character in the text that I selected (by a left click) the
cursor is resetted to the start of the text. This is not the usual
behaviour. I expected the cursor to show up at the position of the
character that I select. Howerver now if I do not add the focus out
listener to the ccombo and then try to repeat the steps I get the expected
result.

Hence I was puzzled as to why adding focus out listener to ccombo widget
re-sets the cursor position of the text/styledtext widget to the start of
the text??

Sounds like an SWT bug. Enter a problem report with a stand alone snippet.
Thanks.
