Bugs item #666092, was opened at 2003-01-11 05:58 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100588&aid=666092&group_id=588 Category: editor core Group: normal bug Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Windows alt-tab "stickiness" Initial Comment: Hopefully I'll explain this well enough: Windows 2K, java 1.4.1_01 When you alt-tab from JEdit to another program, and you release the alt key before the tab key (as is when you're quickly switching), JEdit interprets this as an alt-key press, and it will be in the background with the file menu highlighted (as if you had pressed the alt key when it was in the foreground, highlighting the menu, and then clicked in a different app's window). This causes in particular two annoying things to happen. If you happen to move the mouse over the highlighted menu in the background, it pops up (still in the background). Second, if you manage to miss the menu with the mouse, and alt-tab back and start typing, you start executing commands based on the menu key shortcut settings (as the alt key was already pressed). Didn't see this anywhere, hope I didn't miss it written up elsewhere. --Rich ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ivan Voras (ivoras) Date: 2003-02-11 01:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=694496 I can only add that this is a very repeatable and extremely annoying bug. It is present also in Windows XP and jEdit 4.1pre9. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Rich Fletcher (richfletcher) Date: 2003-01-22 08:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=685661 Note that the question mark (?) between the single quotes was added by Sourceforge; it was apparently the actual unprintable character before it was massaged by their server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Rich Fletcher (richfletcher) Date: 2003-01-22 08:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=685661 More info: Just discovered the Utilities->Keyboard Tester... menu.
