Created attachment 236642 [details] Example application demonstrating the bug The mnemonic attribute that is defined in MMenuElement is only honored by the SWT renderer for elements of type MHandledMenuItem (Implemenated in HandledContributionItem#updateMenuItem). For all other subtypes of MMenuElement (such as MMenu), the attribute is not honored. I have attached a demonstration of this bug. I used the e4 sample application and only changed the mnemonic attribute in the "File" menu (MMenu) to "F" and the mnemonic attribute in the "Open" HandledMenuItem (MHandledMenuItem) to "O". The "F" mnemonic isn't honored, but the "O" mnemonic is. For a workaround one may misuse the label property. Simply put a "&" in front of the character that should be the mnemonic. But as the model clearly has been desinged to separate the label from the mnomic character (otherwise the mnemonics attribute wouldn't exist), this does seem like no satisfying solution to me.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
