Description Jan Jancura 1998-08-21 23:38:14 UTC 
One way to fix it is to remember thread of AWT-EventQueue0 and then test if the thread that entered the TopFrame.FocusMananger is the same.

[jglick] At least in JDK 1.2.2, the thread is always a java.awt.EventDispatchThread named AWT-EventQueue-nnn and this number is incremented often, regardless of whether a modal dialog or something els
e invoked the focus manager.

Perhaps the focused component could be tested to see if it is contained in a TopComponent or the MainWindow or not.

[jglick] Now should disable all shortcuts when a dialog is being shown, except if the action uses a special property indicating it should be global, as does HelpAction.
