Comment 5 _ pkuzel 2001-12-14 13:11:41 UTC

From my point of view it looks like localization issue.

Comment 6 Keiichi Oono 2001-12-27 12:29:46 UTC

Would you check if the first character is not used as mnemonic key?

By localization, the first character becomes no-ascii character. As a
result, the mnemonic key doesn't work by localization. To fix this
problem, we need to set two resource bundle messages, one is for
caption, another is for mnemonic.
  Example=TestString
  Example_Mnemonic=T

And we should use like this:
myButton.setText(myBundle.getString("Example"));
myButton.setMnemonic(myBundle.getString("Example_Mnemonic").charAt(0).

I guess other many objects are implemented like above.
The following line does not work with localized version, because the
first character is not an alphanumeric because it's replaced to
multi-byte Japanese character.

myButton.setMnemonic(myResourceBundle.getString("Example").charAt(0));

Comment 7 Marian Petras 2002-01-02 16:31:00 UTC

Some buttons need not have mnemonics. See Java Look and Feel design
guidelines
(http://java.sun.com/products/jlf/ed2/book/HIG.Behavior3.html#35796).
All buttons mentioned in this bug report are either OK/Cancel buttons
which do not need mnemonics. Mnemonics are present neither in English
nor in Japanese version.

Consistent use of the I18N keyword.
