Description ingwarr 2009-11-18 04:50:31 UTC
There is no menomnics on WURFL panel at all.
In comparision: JavaME SDK3.0 for win has menmonics for "Search" and "Use filter" elements. 
They are required since "Use filter" is not reachable using keyboard.

It should be NBplatform bug. We have the mnemonics in our code, but seems like nbplatform on mac cannot interpret strings like "&Search" and "Use &Filter" and doesn't generate mnemonics from it.

I've verified it on Netbeans. If you open, for example, Properties and try mnemonics there (compare with Windows version), no mnemonics work.

The problem have effects many windows of JavaME SDK 3.0 MAC .

According to Java Development Guide for Mac OS X, mnemonics are discouraged on Mac OS X, so the reason they are not working actually because they are disabled on Java implementation on Mac OS X.

See http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Java/Conceptual/Java14Development/07-NativePlatformIntegration/NativePlatformIntegration.html


From mnemonics part of the document
"Using mnemonics is discouraged in Mac OS X, because mnemonics violate the principles of Apple Human Interface Guidelines."
