Strange behaviour of an open shell (needs a mouse click twice before noticing any event on the shell [message #336130] Mon, 25 May 2009 09:20 Go to next message

Hello,

i´ve got following strange behaviour within my rcp application. My RCP
Application browses through some list of pdf documents (which are
displayed within a table widget). When the user clicks on a row of my
table, a separate window (here: shell) should be opened an the pdf
document should be displayed.

My problem is the following curious behaviour:
When I open or display the shell, the window recognizes mouse events
after a second mouse click, though the window seems to be active and
seems to have the current focus on the application window.

If I add some special listeners on the current shell and add here some
logging statements, it seems that the current shell looses the focus
directly after gaining the focus.

Does anybody know whats wrong ?

Thanks
wigor

Hello Guys,

i fixed the problem by initialize the Shell-constructor without any
parameters.


final Shell shell = new Shell();
....

instead of ...

//old: final Shell shell = new Shell(currentDisplay);
