Comment 1 nowhereman 2012-04-16 17:48:21 UTC

When using the menu shortcuts, such as Alt-S F (to format), Alt-S O (to fix imports), or Alt-E T (to cut selected text), sometimes the second character (f, o, t) is inserted in the source code after the menu action is done.  I noticed this happening with 7.1.

Comment 2 Jiri Prox 2012-04-17 15:32:34 UTC

This looks like JDK problem, I'm able to reproduce it with the single JFrame with JEditorPane and JMenu, but I'm not able to find this in the jdk bug database

Comment 3 Miloslav Metelka 2012-04-24 14:24:26 UTC

This is a longterm JDK problem which sometimes reappears with certain JDK versions on certain platforms. It used to be more frequent on old JDKs like 1.2 or 1.3 but I guess it may appear even with current JDKs. Currently there's still an open issue for Linux platform http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6493715 and many issues like e.g. http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6391688 for various platforms including windows that appear as closed but I guess they may re-appear e.g. specifically on Win7.
You might want to try a different JDK version/build it might possibly help.

Comment 6 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2012-04-24 16:01:03 UTC

Reproducible consistently?

Could please try with 6u31 and 7u3? Thanks.

Comment 7 nowhereman 2012-04-24 16:42:30 UTC

It is not consistent.  Sometimes it happens, sometimes not.  It seems to be more frequent when the command actually has to do something (such as reformatting), but not always.

I'll report the results with JDK 6u31 and 7u3 later.

Comment 8 Miloslav Metelka 2012-04-26 07:52:05 UTC

Just a question: what are your keyboard initial delay and repeat delay settings, isn't there a chance the keyboard would send another keystroke?

Comment 9 nowhereman 2012-04-26 12:12:45 UTC

Keyboard delay is set to minimum; repeat rate is set to maximum.  However, I have not seen this in *any* other program.

Comment 10 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2012-05-24 21:19:42 UTC

> I'll report the results with JDK 6u31 and 7u3 later.

Please, reopen if it happens with these versions. Thanks.
