MenuItem doesn't send selection event the 2nd time around [message #511079]

So, the first time I select this menu item it works fine. But then it seems to disable all other menu items because none of them are responsive. There are no errors or messages in the logs..

The menu item in question invokes a FileDialog and the problem occurs only when a file was selected. If the dialog was cancelled, the menu items are ok. After the file is selected my application specific code which sets up all the widgets in the layout, so it's entirely possible that something in my app code is causing this .. but I'm having a tough time tracking it down.

A second side-effect is that the accelerator on the menu items disappear..

Does this ring any bells to anyone? I'll be glad to post code/configuration files if you just let me know which ones to post.

Thanks!

Hi,

I don't know what would cause this, so I think you'll have to provide some
code. At a minimum the code that runs when an item is selected is needed;
more ideal would be a runnable snippet similar to
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/org. eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet29. java
that shows the problem happening. Also, which platform do you see this on?
