Description Trey Spiva 2008-09-17 23:51:28 UTC 
On the Mac the keystroke Shift-F10 is a system keystroke, therefore the Shift-F10 will never bring up the context palette.  The issue 147548 was created to 
track the NetBeans IDE problem.  However since the visual library uses its own action to open the context palette I am creating this issue to track the A11Y 
problem for the visual library.

This issue cannot be resolved on our side. If someone wants to use Shift-F10 for popup menu invocation on Mac then it is
necessary to redefine system shortcut from F10 to something else - please see workaround and explanation which is
described in umbrella issue #147479.
