Description Marian Mirilovic 2002-01-10 15:57:10 UTC 
[nb331_dev](200201100331), [jdk1.4](91)
Solaris 5.8/CDE

Steps to reproduce:
- run IDE
- open some java file 
- try to edit file
- hit F10 ( invoke Main menu "File")
- menu is visible

-> It's impossible select menu by Up/Down or Left/Roght select another menu, it
works fine by mouse but not by keyboard.
(After hitting Up/Down/Left/Right cursor is moved inside Source editor - it
looks like focused is still Source Editor instead main window)

P2 - it's A11Y issue with high priority, impossibility to select something from
menu by keyboard prohibit functionality for people with disabilities. 

!!! Please evaluate ASAP, if this one is JDK issue mark as WONTFIX, thanks.

MDI or SDI?
Comment 2 Marian Mirilovic 2002-01-10 16:19:05 UTC 
SDI
Comment 3 jrojcek 2002-01-10 16:43:47 UTC 
It also doesn't work in explorer when popup exceeds explorer border.
Looks like problem with heavyweight popups.
Comment 4 _ ttran 2002-01-10 16:49:59 UTC 
the feature we have in NB - driving the main menu even if the main
window is not a focused one - is not the default behavior of
AWT/Swing.  It's a very ugly hack which stopped working in JDK 1.4.  I
can try to find another hack, but don't hold high hope

verified in [nb3.3.1-rc2](200201180727) - it's possible work with menu
by keyboard (F10 - open menu and Up/Down/Left/Right expand, select
items)

but new issue arise (see issue 19563).

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
