I've got a composite whose first control is a text control followed by some buttons and then some multiline text controls. If nothing in the composite has focus and I click in one of the multi line text controls, the multiline text control gets focus, then loses it and the first text control gains focus. Focus never goes back to the text control where the click occurs. I can force it back by listening for the mouse click but that results in some jumpy behavior if the first control has scrolled off the composite. So, how do I get the focus to stay where it belongs?

thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick, sorry for the late response,

This should not happen, there must either be an swt bug (though I've
never heard of this before), or perhaps your code is doing something to
inadvertently cause this? Are you able to make a snippet (ideal
template: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#whatisasnippet ) that
demonstrates the problem? And which platform do you see this on?

Grant
