I'm using:

- SWT/Fox 3.0.0.04
- Fox 1.2.11
- Eclipse 3.0.1 (200409161125)

In some cases (Replace with latest from HEAD, update
only few files in synchronize perspective) the
operation is performed, but no component gets the focus
then and clicking anywhere to set the focus gives only
a 'beep'. Have to kill Eclipse.

    Another scenario where I lost focus:

    I edited build-path in tree->properties->build-path, the
    path-dialog appeard, averything worked fine but when the
    eclipse-window itself should receive inputs it only made
    beeped, (it had fucus, at least did windowbar show this) it
    did not respond to events (mouse-klick and keyboard) -
    mouseover events worked fine.

    I think it occurs, when an operation that should open some
    kind of progress dialog does not take long enough so that
    the progress dialog will not be shown. It seems that this
    dialog that will not be shown gets the focus and it does not
    give it back to the main window.
    Now that I know this behavior I have have changed the way
    how I execute some operations, but sometimes I simple
    forget. It's very annoying to have to kill and restart
    Eclipse several times a day.

    please fix this - I have to regulary kill eclipse because
    of focus problems - this seem to be nearly the last problems
    that are still there.

    Everything else really works fine - thx!

    Increased the priority: this is still the most annoying problem left. Please
    try to fix it. Thanks for your work so far!

    any ideas why this really happens (not just assumptions?)
