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


This is the correct XP behavior.

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





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.
