shortcut keys in context menu disappear in second occurrence [message #465807]

I have shortcut keys created successfully in a context menu of an editor.
When I first bring up the context menu, I can see the shortcut keys right
beside the menuitem text, e.g. "action1 Ctrl+Shift+F", but if I leave
the current editor, and bring up another kind of editor, that is to make
the current editor to be out of focus, then come back to the previous
editor, and bring up the context menu again, the shortcut keys for
menutiems disappear, the context menu just show "action1 ". Is
this a bug in eclipse or it is something that I have not done correctly?

Below is what I did.
In plugin xml:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
<editor
name="%Editor.name"
default="false"
extensions="abc"
contributorClass="...AbcActionContributor"
class="...AbcEditor"
id="...Abc"
</editor>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.contexts">
<context
name="%KeyBindings.context.esql.label"
description="%KeyBindings.context.esql.description"
parentId="org.eclipse.ui.textEditorScope"
id="com.ibm.etools.mft.esql.editor.context">
</context>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
<category
name="%KeyBindings.label"
description="%KeyBindings.description"
id="abc.editor.category">
</category>
<command
name="%KeyBindings.command.comment.label"
description="%KeyBindings.command.comment.description"
categoryId="abc.editor.category"
id="abc.editor.comment">
</command>
</extension>

Sorry I pressed the wrong button before I finished typing my previous
note. This is what I did:

In plugin xml:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
<editor
name="%Editor.name"
default="false"
extensions="abc"
contributorClass="AbcActionContributor"
class="AbcEditor"
id="Abc"
</editor>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.contexts">
<context
name="%KeyBindings.context.label"
description="%KeyBindings.context.description"
parentId="org.eclipse.ui.textEditorScope"
id="abc.editor.context">
</context>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
<category
name="%KeyBindings.label"
description="%KeyBindings.description"
id="abc.editor.category">
</category>
<command
name="%KeyBindings.command.comment.label"
description="%KeyBindings.command.comment.description"
categoryId="abc.editor.category"
id="abc.editor.action1">
</command>
</extension>

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.bindings">
<key
sequence="M1+M2+F"
contextId="abc.editor.context"
commandId="abc.editor.action1"
schemeId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration"/ >
</extension>

In AbcActionContributor, when creating action1, I set
action1.setActionDefinitionId("abc.editor.action1");
action1.setId("abc.editor.action1");

In the createPartControl() of AbcEditor, I did the following:
IHandlerService keyBindings = (IHandlerService) site.getService(
IHandlerService.class );
keyBindings.activateHandler( action1.getId(), new ActionHandler( action1 )
);

IContextService contextService = (IContextService)
getSite().getService(IContextService.class);
contextService.activateContext( "abc.editor.context" );

That looks correct:
In the createPartControl() of AbcEditor, I did the following:
IHandlerService keyBindings = (IHandlerService) site.getService(
IHandlerService.class );
keyBindings.activateHandler( action1.getId(), new ActionHandler( action1
) );

IContextService contextService = (IContextService)
getSite().getService(IContextService.class);
contextService.activateContext( "abc.editor.context" );

that should activate your ActionHandler for the abc.editor.action1
command, and activate your context whenever your editor is the active
editor.

What are you using to show the label in the context menu? Are you just
adding action1 to the context menu in createPartControl(*)?

There might already be an open bug about this (sounds familiar).
