  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Autotabbing doesn't function in Bidi    *
  *                      RCP HATS applications.  This problem    *
  *                      exists when user works in overwrite     *
  *                      mode.                                   *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The SWT implementation of visual field uses the Modify
  Listener in order to perform typing in owerwrite mode.
  The RCP transformation in turn implements it's own Modify
  Listener to perform the cursor autoadvance to the next field.
  There is a clash between these two listeners.
  

Problem conclusion

• Refactor the code of SWT implementation of visual field to
  prevent it messing with Modify Listeners attached from outside.
