  Unable to playback a script created by inserting an Eclipse
  context menu through "Insert Test Object" function in Linux.
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem is due to incorrect recording of the SWT Context
  menu. The hierarchy generated assigns the IDE Menubar as the
  parent of the context menu which is inaccurate. The context
  menu should be a top level window.
  

Temporary fix
