Hi everyone,

I have a couple of test that make use of the native key event
(keyboard,typeText(), control.pressShortcut() and the likes). Everything
seemed to work well, until recently when I added some validation. The
Enter key does not seem to be properly emulated depending on the OS.

I read a couple of articles online saying that I should use
Keystrokes.CR to emulate the Enter key. That works very well on Ubuntu,
but under CentOS it doesn't work. I did some testing and when I used
Keystrokes.LF, it works under CentOS, but it doesn't work anymore in Ubuntu!

I was wondering if anyone had any clue to why this is happening...

I'm using the SWTKeyboardStrategy (so Display.post()) with Eclipse 3.5,
JDK 1.6. Ubuntu is a 10.04 and CentOS is a 5.5

Hi,

This could either be because of a different version of gtk or a bug in SWT.

If this is something that you could reproduce using a minimal SWT-only
API you might get some traction on the swt-dev list.
