Description Marian Mirilovic 2002-05-21 15:29:13 UTC 
[orion](020517-rc4), [jdk1.4](fcs)
Windows L&F

Mnemonics aren't visible until you don't use it.
If you use it first, all mnemonics "arise".

Windows L&F is not supported for Orion (FFJ 4.0). Adding the NOFFJ40
keyword.
Comment 2 David Simonek 2002-06-06 13:27:26 UTC 
It's not bug, it's feature ;-)
In fact, jdk 1.4 win L&F is trying to emulate default windows
behaviour, which is as follows:
- mnemonics are not visible, until user pressed Alt key, then they appear
- it user releases Alt without specifying mnemonic, focus is shifted
to the menu, allowing for arrows navigation

jdk 1.4 impl is little bit crippled, as it doesn't transfer focus to
menu when Alt is released. After mnemonic action is completed or
escape pressed, mnemonics *usually* :-) go away again.
Anyway, we can't do anything directly as this behaviour is implemented
in swing's win look & feel. If you find any inconsistncies, please
report them to swing team. Thanks.
