Description _ ttran 2005-10-30 22:30:30 UTC 
Mnemonics should not be shown on Mac.  It's not consistent with Mac applications
and worse mnemonics don't work at all there.  This is currently the most visible
UI glitch on Mac after we fixed the screen menubar bug.

This can be fixed by using Quaqua look&feel
<http://www.randelshofer.ch/quaqua/download.html> which also fixes the horible
Aqua file chooser.  It's probably too late for 5.0, and we would still have to
request legal review for this library.  Perhaps having a module available on
autoupdate post-fcs is good enough for this release.

But see also issue 67805
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2005-10-31 18:28:02 UTC 
For future reference: original patch to o.o.awt.Mnemonics reverted in issue
#67431. That patch was probably correct; dialogs etc. which do *not* use
Mnemonics yet ought to be fixed to do so.
Comment 2 Milos Kleint 2005-11-11 11:48:50 UTC 
marking as 5.0_WAIVER_REQUEST.
it's late in 5.0 timeframe to find and modify all the dialogs to use
org.openide.awt.Mnemonics class to set mnemonics to labels.
Comment 3 Marian Mirilovic 2005-11-15 10:48:20 UTC 
No objection against 5.0 waiver, neither from NetCAT ... isue waived for NB 5.0
Comment 4 Milos Kleint 2005-12-14 12:52:00 UTC 
fixed in trunk. all forms that use org.openide.awt.Mnemonics for assigning
mnemonics will have them correctly ignored on macosx. Others need to be fixed.
Please file bugs separately..
