FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
  Bug 4214563 is not fixed or has resurfaced in JDK1.4.  Run
the following program.  Right-click anywhere on the frame.
Try using cursor keys, enter, or any of the shortcuts.
Nothing works.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Compile and run the following code.
2. Right-click mouse on the frame to bring up popup
3. Press the cursor keys.
4. Notice that nothing happens
5. Press enter
6. Notice that nothing happens
7. Press the A key
8. Notice that nothing happens

10. Notices that nothing happens


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
I expected the cursor keys to chagne the popup selection.
I expected the shortcuts (mnemonics) to work.  I expected
Enter and ESC to dismiss the popup.

This bug can be reproduced always.

EVALUATION This has likely been fixed by other fixs, none-the-less we need to verify it has been fixed for mantis. ###@###.### 2002-10-18 Name: azR10139 Date: 11/01/2002 The problem is caused by the incorrect algorithm of search of the appropriate RootPane in BasicRootPane$MenuKeyboardHelper.stateChanged() method. The idea of suggested fix is to check if invoker is instance of JFrame or JApplet and use its RootPane to install keyboard helper which forwards all the key events to the popup. ###@###.### 11/01/2002 ======================================================================
