Description Jiri Mzourek 2002-01-18 09:52:49 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1) select node in "Explorer" and press "Alt-E" - the menu "Edit" will not open,
when you try to open any other menu, the menu item with the same mnemonic as the
menu has will be invoked (menu &Window, menu item &Windows)

2) when you are in Source Editor, "Alt-V" opens menu "View", but the focus is
still in the editor; it's impossible to open menu Build "Alt-B" form Source Editor

Just examples.

Observed in NetBeans 3.3.1 RC2 build and main trunk build, on Solaris 8 and W2k
on JDK1.4rc.
Comment 1 _ ttran 2002-01-18 10:17:07 UTC 
I believe this is a known JVM bug.  We received a similar bug #17548
in the past and I spent a whole lot of time trying to find a
workaround but no success.

Marked this one as duplicate of #17548, there I had a note saying that
it works fine on JDK 1.4beta, but according to jmzourek's descr that's
not true.

Feel free to reopen /increase prio of/ #17548 if you think we should
try harder to solve this problem
