Description kanderson 2002-05-04 07:16:24 UTC 
I've noticed that keyboard shortcuts to menu items around the UI seemed to work only 
sporadically in past releases, and lately have stopped working altogether.   Take as examples 
deleting a file in explorer and deleting a component in the form editor: the Delete key is the 
shortcut for both.  Under 3.3.1, my experience was that the Delete shortcut might work the 
first 
few times I used it, but would eventually stop working.  Under the last couple of 3.4 
development builds I've tried, the shortcut never works.  The same is true of other 
shortcuts, such as Ctrl+X for Cut, Ctrl+C for copy, and Ctrl+V for paste.  These keystrokes all 
work just fine for text input in the source editor and on property sheets, they just don't seem 
to work the menu shortcuts.

I deleted my user directory and re-installed NB 3.4dev20020503; problems has abated for the moment.  I 
had previously imported my Forte 3.0 settings into NB 3.3.1, then my 3.3.1 settings into 3.4 dev20020426. 
 It seems the symptoms got worse with each import.

Beg pardon, that first sentence should, of course read "...; problem has abated..."
Comment 3 Jan Zajicek 2002-05-09 17:23:13 UTC 
Moving to core. Do you have any steps that 100% reproduce the
behaviour? Also aren't you downgrading the jdk versions? Thanks.

CCing Trunk, maybe he will know more.
Comment 5 kanderson 2002-05-10 00:07:33 UTC 
It's not an import-related problem.   The shortcuts simply cease to function after I've been working in 
the IDE for a while.  I'll try to pin down a more exact cause.

First and foremost, never, never, _never_ forget to add JDK and OS
version whenever one file a bug.  Without that information the bug
report is INVALID
Comment 7 kanderson 2002-05-11 05:50:16 UTC 
Guilty as charged.  I'm running JDK 1.4 on Win2K Pro.  I humbly beg forgiveness.

I'm pretty sure this is related #23142, which I've determined to be the result of opening in the form 
editor a form whose constructor installs a custom FocusManager.  Both sets of symptoms start 
simultaneously when I open the offending form, and haven't found a way to reproduce this issue in 
isolation from 23142.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> verified.
