Description ssffleming 2002-08-13 20:20:48 UTC 
Testing using Sierra build 020808 on NT under JDK 1.4.  Single CPU.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a file in the source editor
2. Press the F10 key
...you see the file menu becomes visible
3.  Press the Escape key
...nothing happens

Workaround is to press the Escape key twice.

Note: I tested this same scenario using another Java Swing application
and found the Escape key to work correctly.  This suggests that
there is a problem in the Netbeans implementation, rather than Java/Swing.
(I tested using the J2EE RI deploytool application)

I am leaving this P3 since keyboard operation is an accessibility requirement.
There is a reasonable keyboard workaround, so I don't think a higher priority
is needed.  I have not testing on Solaris or Linux.  Any fix should be checked
on all platforms if possible.  Thanks in advance.
Comment 1 Marian Mirilovic 2002-09-13 14:28:40 UTC 
It is reproducible with [sierra](rc2) but only with SDI !
It works fine in MDI.
Comment 2 Marian Mirilovic 2002-11-13 15:29:32 UTC 
changed owner Dafe -> Peter Z.
Comment 3 Peter Zavadsky 2002-12-03 17:02:33 UTC 
It works in NB jdk1.4.1 for both MDI and SDI on linux.
It is necessary to investigate it more at the problematic OS.

reassigne to Marek, new owner of ui subcomponents
Comment 5 mslama 2003-02-26 16:14:48 UTC 
Marian please can you check current NB dev build? It works fine for me
on Linux, JDK 1.4.1_01, NB my current fresh build 030226, both MDI and
SDI.
Comment 6 mslama 2003-02-26 16:36:05 UTC 
Sun ONE Studio 4 update 1, Community Edition (Build 021101) works fine
too on Linux, JDK 1.4.1_01.
Comment 7 mslama 2003-02-27 15:47:03 UTC 
It happens on Win 2000 with current dev build, JDK 1.4.1_01. We are
investigating where first 'Esc' is going.

Marek, I'm inheriting this issue from you.  It looks like you've done some work on it 
already?  Please post whatever you know about where the problem is.

For now, marking this to be fixed post-3.6 - a workaround is available (press esc twice) 
and there are more severe problems that are higher priority to fix for 3.6.  If there's time 
later, we may be able to do it for 3.6, but shouldn't commit to it now.
Comment 10 _ tboudreau 2004-04-17 19:25:44 UTC 
Giving this issue back to Marek
Comment 11 mslama 2004-04-19 15:04:03 UTC 
Assigning to Tim
Comment 12 _ tboudreau 2004-07-29 02:53:21 UTC 
Works correctly in 4.0/JDK 1.4.2_03/JDK 1.5.0 - it was actually a bug in 3.5 that it 
produced the menu, at least on Windows - to be consistent with other Windows apps, it 
selects, but does not show the menu.
