as if the code-assist dialog is not getting the focus (there is no visible
selection).
Anybody have any ideas as to what might be wrong/different here?
Thanks

The Content Assist popup doesn't grab focus automatically on any platform.
However, you should be able to select an item by pressing up and down
arrows. Tom said:
>>Is there no visible selection or no selection at all?
Try pressing down arrow and then tab to see whether the selection actually
moved. If it did, then everything works as it should, and you should change
your color settings to see the selection in the unfocused list.

It isn't all that easy (I guess that's why I did not answer at first)...
When running Gnome, you can just change the gtk settings by switching
the Gnome theme. There may be other spots to tweak, but you'll need to
dig for those yourself.
When running KDE, switching the gnome theme may not work, since some of
the gtk settings are not picked up as long as gnome is not running.
Also, KDE can be instructed to try to configure GTK to look close to the
KDE settings, thus overriding your GTK settings.
So:
- turn off KDE-overriding-GTK settings (Control Center->Appearance &
Themes->Colors, uncheck "Apply color to non-KDE applications")
This already gives me some non-focused selection. To tweak that any
further, modify your ~/.gtkrc file (take the one in
/usr/share/themes/Mist as an example, if it exists, anyway).
HTH a little, tom

That did what I needed. Thank you very much.
