JDK 6
6 b59aFixed

I'll attach a simple application that contains just a text area and menu with two items. If you place focus in the text area and press Alt+F, menu gets posted. If you then try 's' to invoke "test" menu item, it gets invoked, but 's' is written into the text area.
It worked perfectly in b57, gets broken in b58.
It might be related to the change in java/awt/KeyboardFocusManager.java,v1.66 vs 1.65

EVALUATION <<I'll also mention that I see this bug on my windows box too. When running NB 5.0 with latest mustang builds if I hit 'Alt-f s' (to save) sometimes the s ends up in the editor. VERY annoying!>> -- by ###@###.###

EVALUATION It seems that the fix for 5028014 changed the timing and the sequence of events, which resulted in this regression. It is unclear how to restore that sequence without backing-out of the fix. One idea is to consume key-typed events based on whether or not key-pressed events was processed as mnemonic, however neither AWT nor Swing have the necessary instruments so far to do this correctly. We may think about that in Dolphin, though.

EVALUATION Previously, in b57, we would receive KEY_TYPED when focus owner was either JRootPane or null.
07-11-2005
EVALUATION From the log I see that Swing closes menu on KEY_PRESSED event for 's'. Then focus goes back to text area. Then KEY_TYPED for 's' arrives and AWT dispatches it to the focus owner - text area.

EVALUATION Could you please provide the source code for the test case?
