A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
A main window of a Java FX application has a "File > Save" menu item with Command-S as its accelerator. A "preview" dialog is opened, and it has a button with text, "Save to PDF". A "Command-S" accelerator and an eventFilter are registered, either with the button, or the dialog window, so that the user can use the keyboard to save the preview to PDF.
On OS X, when the user presses Command-S in this preview dialog, the generated event leaks back to the owning stage, and fires the "File > Save" menu item. It also fires the "Save to PDF" button, but the fact that the owning stage receives the event and handles it is not correct behavior.
I have tested on OS X High Sierra and Windows 10. The latter behaves correctly. So, as far as I can tell, the issue is specific to OS X HS (10.13.5).
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
See the attached code.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Pressing an accelerator in a dialog to fire a button should not result in the firing of a control (button/menu item) assigned to the same accelerator in the owning window.
ACTUAL -
Pressing an accelerator in a dialog to fire a button in that dialog actually fires a control (button/menu item) assigned to the same accelerator in the owning window, as well as the button in the dialog.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
See the attached code, specifically near the bottom of the file where the comment tells you to uncomment two lines surrounding the "showAndWait()" invocation.
