Re: [platform-swt-dev] not seeing character underlined when setting mnem

[Mark Phippard <MarkP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have noticed mnemonics sometimes do not show up in dialogs until you "do 
something".  For example, if you bring up the Eclipse Preferences dialog 
in XP the mnemonics on the Restore Defaults and Apply buttons does not 
appear until you do something with the keyboard, such as press the Tab 
key.

The mnemonics work, you just do not see the visual hint.
