[nb_release33](20011217), [jdk1.3.1](01) Steps to reproduce: - select some node in Explorer - invoke in Properties window popup menu on some property (Shift+F10) -> popup menu is opened - hit Tab -> next property is focused, but popup menu is still showned ! - it's possible close it only by Esc! This behaviour cause problems if property sheet is displyed in Dialog (Customize bean) , if you hit Exc there -> whole dialog closing instead popup menu and it's bad.
When there is a popup displayed all keyboard events should be routed to the popup. I have no clue why Esc and Tab get throught to the underlaying component (causing focus transfer or dialog closing).
lower priority to P4, due to Accessibility Bug Priority Guidelines.
This problem is serious only case in which a property sheet is in a dialog that reacts to Esc by closing. Unfortunately Customize Bean is such kind of dialog. There is no way to dismiss the popup invoked by Shift-F10 on property sheet cell (without closing the dialog).
fixed in trunk, diff against release33 will be attached shortly
