Run the test case Driver below and then follow the instructions:

import com.sun.java.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Driver extends JFrame
{

JMenuBar menuBar = null;
JMenu fileMenu = null;
JMenuItem logonMenuItem = null;
JMenuItem exitMenuItem = null;
JFrame frame = null;

public static void main(String[] args)
{
new Driver();
}

public Driver()
{
super();

createMenu();
addEvents();

setBounds(50,50,200,200);
setVisible(true);

frame = this;
}

public void createMenu()
{
menuBar = new JMenuBar();

fileMenu = new JMenu("File");
fileMenu.setMnemonic((int)'F');

logonMenuItem = new JMenuItem("Logon");
logonMenuItem.setMnemonic((int)'L');

exitMenuItem = new JMenuItem("Exit");
exitMenuItem.setMnemonic((int)'x');

fileMenu.add(logonMenuItem);
fileMenu.addSeparator();
fileMenu.add(exitMenuItem);

menuBar.add(fileMenu);
setJMenuBar(menuBar);
}

public void addEvents()
{
exitMenuItem.addActionListener
(
new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
{
System.exit(0);
}
}
);

logonMenuItem.addActionListener
(
new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
{
MyDialog md = new MyDialog(frame);
}
}
);
}

}

class MyDialog extends JDialog
{
JLabel label = null;
JTextField text = null;

MyDialog(JFrame f)
{
super(f);
getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
label = new JLabel("Label");
text = new JTextField(10);
getContentPane().add(label);
getContentPane().add(text);

pack();
setVisible(true);
text.requestFocus();
}
}

Press <ALT>+F to expand File menu, press L key to activate
Logon menuitem.

Our logon dialog box (2 JLabels / 2 JTextfields) appears
with the letter 'L' in the first text field.
It appears as if the key event is not being consumed properly.

This occurs on Swing 1.0.2 and Swing 1.0.3
