This is the Num-lock problem. It shouldn't be. The num-lock problem has been fixed. I tried it on Ian's machine. With num-lock on accelerator did not work. Turning num-lock off accelerator did work. Argh. Grant, is this a regression? This is a different case of the famous NumLock problem. It was previously fixed for accelerators, but in this case it's causing problems for mnemonics. All that we can do is give The XmNmnemonic resource a KeySym as a value, after which the platform runs the show w.r.t. activating the menu item appropriately. I'm not sure what to do here. Will troll for assistance... Removing accessibility keyword since the numlock problem doesn't block accessibility (it's just very annoying). *** Bug 17624 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Asked for workarounds on the motif newsgroup, but received no suggestions. Will ask SN about possibility of doing this manually. *** Bug 44582 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Moving report to triage, see http://www.eclipse.org/swt/triage.php for swt bug handling process. As Motif is no longer supported closing the bug. Please open a new one if the problem still exists with supported RHEL/Fedora and Eclipse version. |
