Error description

• Abstract:
  
  Shortcut keys might stop functioning in various editors.
  
  Problem:
  
  When using the JSP or Page Designer editor, Rich Page editor, or
  other XML-based editors, you may observe the Delete or certain
  shortcut keystrokes stop working.  Some examples of key binding
  failures that can occur (but not limited to)
  
   - When you work with the Rich Page Editor and are switching
  between views, the delete key stops working
  
   - Intermittent issues may occur with shortcut keys in the
  Struts Configuration Editor
  
   - Ctrl+S (Save) keystroke fails intermittently when editing
  JSPs in the Page Designer editor
  
   - Ctrl+Arrow keystroke stops working in the JavaScript editor
  
   - Delete key stops working when editing JSPs in the Page
  Designer editor
  
  Similar shortcut key problems occurred to a lesser extent after
  updating to the Interim Fix 002 for 8.5.1 which resolved related
  APARs: PM83722, PM74700, PM80908.
  
  The remaining problem(s) are related to an issue with Eclipse
  and the IBM JVM that can sometimes cause the set of active
  handlers to fail to find an existing activation, causing handler
  conflicts to occur.
  
  For more technical details, see:
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=395642
  
  Local fix:
  
  There is no known workaround at this time except to restart the
  product.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Some key bindings (for example, CTRL+C, CTRL+V, etc) stop to
  work after using some of the Page Designer or Rich Page Editor
  editors.
  

Problem conclusion

• A comparison that enables priorities has been added to correct
  this problem.  The fix for this APAR is included in Rational
  Application Developer v8.5.5.
