[ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_04 ] I have recently reported a couple of issues with keyboard focus in freeform project properties and the properties file editor. Now I think that the problem is more widely spread. Today I wanted to rename a text file, so I right clicked the node and chose Rename. The dialog opened with the file name in the text field. The caret was visible but I couldn't edit anything. I could move the caret with the mouse but the field wouldn't accept keyboard input.
Long known JDK 1.5 bug (#6183877). Finally fixed in recent Mustang build (b53). *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 50423 ***
