Description Jesse Glick 2004-04-22 21:17:53 UTC

o.o.awt.Mnemonics looks like it is pretty careful
about how '&' is treated. But Actions is not so
careful, and sometimes thinks '&' is introducing a
mnemonic when clearly it is not, e.g. before a
space character. Examples:

1. Context menu item on NBM projects should read
"Build with Dependencies & Try" but appears as
"Build with Dependencies  Try".

2. Toolbar button has a tooltip "Clean  Build Main
Project (Shift-F11)" whereas the menu item is
"Clean & Build Main Project".

Probably all mnemonic-handling code in Actions should be reviewed and
either deleted in favor of Mnemonics or merged with that somehow.
There is currently some confusing redundancy even in the API.

Marek, didn't you already fix something here?
