If you are editing an entry, and you have a quotation mark ("), and your cursor is right after the quotation mark, and you press CTRL + ALT + V to paste without line breaks, Hypernomicon will act as if you have just pressed ALT, and the menu options (File, Tools, Favorites, etc.) will have their hotkeys underlined and if you press any of the hotkeys the menu will open up. That is not the desired behavior, of course: Hypernomicon should not be acting like I've just pressed ALT.

    Cursor placement, and presence of a quotation mark, actually don't matter. Based on my testing, what matters if whether Alt is the first key that goes down. This is actually a JavaFX framework bug, the same underlying issue as this: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8287424

    I have committed a workaround to the GitHub repo preventing this issue. It will be included in the next release.
