Has anyone else seen this happen to them?

1). Open WDSCi.
2). Window prompting for workspace opens up. I hit OK.
3). The splash screen shows up with the progress bar at the bottom and it

shown. But I cannot type anything into it.
5). When I try to switch to the window using ALT+TAB and select the

6). No way to enter user id and password and I am stuck.

Yes, this just happened to me recently. I called IBM about it. It took
a while to figure out (one problem is that the bug didn't survive
zipping and unzipping of the workspace in question).

The solution was as follows (from the developer):

To fix the failing workspace, with WDSC stopped, add this line:

com.ibm.etools.iseries.core.preferences.tableview.restore=false


to the end of this file in the workspace:

.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\
com.ibm.etools.iseries.core.prefs


And then start WDSC.

This is equivalent to the preference:
Preferences -> Remote Systems -> iSeries -> Table View ->
Un-check 'Re-open to previous state'

This is to be fixed in a future release. I'm on 7.0.0.4.
