My editor is intercepting key events from the Quick Access text field [message #1410757]

My custom editor has a problem when I run it in Eclipse 4.4, and I want to know the recommended approach for fixing it. The editor has a bunch of actions built using the org.eclipse.ui.commands, org.eclipse.ui.bindings, and org.eclipse.ui.contexts extension points. When I click into the Quick Access text field and start typing, some of the typed characters are hijacked by my editor because the editor's context is still active. What am I doing wrong?

This is bug 353626. One very grotty workaround is to add a Display filter on the SWT.Modify to obtain the workbench's KeyBindingDispatcher and disable its KeyDownFilter while the SearchField text is active.
