[dev feb 11, JDK 1.4.1_01, MDI, Linux 2.4.18, Gnome + Sawfish + sloppy focus] This has happened to me occasionally for a long time, but seems to have become more frequent recently. I will post a menu with its mnemonic, then try to select some item via its mnemonic. But the wrong menu item will be run. Most commonly in Tools menu; I often am unable to run Options or Update Center via Alt-T O or Alt-T U respectively, getting instead random other items - Keyboard Shortcuts, Go To Class, etc. Seems to be random; happens often but not the majority of the time. Workaround is to post menu then select item via arrow keys. Also have seen frequent exceptions which may be related, attaching some examples. Thrown when selecting a menu item via mnemonic from KB.

I have not seen this for a while, I think since I started using JDK 1.4.2 beta. May just be a bug in JDK 1.4.1.
*** Issue 33595 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Assuming it is just a bug in JDK 1.4.1, should probably be WONTFIX or INVALID or something. INVALID if there is a filed BugTraq # explaining the problem, WONTFIX if not. I seem to recall there was some other issue report or something that was associated with this, maybe a test case to reproduce without using NB, but now I don't remember where or what. Maybe Petr was involved?
That was 31003 (filled by you) and was somehow different.
Closing as WONTFIX - it works in 1.4.2, not much point in doing a 1.4.1 specific workaround.
