Summary: Menus and shortcuts have lots of problems on Mac OS X
Initial Comment:
I have just upgraded from 4.1 to 4.2 (final). When I did so, lots of
problems appeared related to pulldown menus:
- Menu shortcuts only work if the focus is on the main text area
when I type them. If any other part of the window (such as the
console) has focus, the shortcut is simply ignored.
- It is impossible to create most shortcuts that involve the control
key. In the Specify Shortcut window, if I type control plus any
letter, it is simply ignored. Curiously, this only applies to letters.
Shortcuts involving other characters (numbers, punctuation
symbols) and the control key CAN be entered.
- Occassionally, all of the pulldown menus disappear from the
menubar except the Apple and jEdit menus. The rest of the
menubar is blank. If I then click anywhere in the menubar, they
immediately reappear. But I can't actually select anything from
any of them (either with the mouse or by using a shortcut). At this
point, the only thing I can do is force quit jEdit.
This is on Mac OS X 10.3.5 with Java 1.4.2 update 1 installed.

i would like to expand upon this -- the motion keys also do
not work when modified with option, OR control. not being
able to rebind the motion keys in a programmer's editor is a
pretty major issue for me, especially since jedit completely
ignores both macos standard key-binding conventions
(option-right is fwd-word, cmd-right is end-of-line, etc.),
emacs keybindings, and vi keybindings.

This is a known regression between jEdit 4.1 and 4.2. It has not
been fixed. See this thread for more information: http://

I've seen this problem occasionally, too. I believe it is the fault
of Apple's Java 1.4.2 Update 1, because I don't remember
seeing it before installing Update 1.
