Thank you for the code-snipped that's a much more elegant approach. I
didn't think that I could influence the Event-Execution in the
"isEditorActivationEvent" Method.

I'm going to have an eye on bug 263427 ( maybe try to investigate if I can
find the time ). So far all the tests have prooven to work with a
reasonable performance without the VIRTUAL-Flag on.

Hi,

IIRC the reason we can't use setSelection() is that this would is a
greedy operation and would make VIRTUAL probably useable because if you
set the selection to table.setSelection(table.getItemCount()-1) we would
materialize the whole table :-(

The SWT problem is described here:
