// This program illustrates two problems with the way that menu mnemonics
// are processed in a JFrame.

// Problem #1 occurs when a menu uses a mnemonic that also appears anywhere
// on the menuBar. The mnemonic keystroke triggers the event associated with
// the item on the menu, not the item on the menuBar. It shows up in many
// different ways. For example:

// A. Start up the enclosed application, then press Alt-N. About 1/2 of the
// time it will display Menu2 and the other 1/2 of the time it will fire
// the event for Menu2/Option2 (when menu2/option2 fires it will print a
// message to the console).

// B. Clear any menus. Hold down the Alt key, then press M, N. The first
// key press displays Menu 1, as it should. The second keystroke displays
// menu2 instead of option 2 on menu 1.

// c. If you press Alt-M, release the Alt key and press N, it fires the
// event for Option 2 on Menu 1. This behavior, however, is
// contrary to standard Windows behavior.

// D. Press Alt-N, Alt-N. This should fire the event for Option 2 on menu 2.
// It does not.

// The common issue is that items on the menuBar do not act independently of
// the items on the pulldown menus. A mnemonic of N on the menuBar gets
// confused with the mnemonic of N on the pulldown menu.

// Problem #2 occurs when a mnemonic is assigned to a sub-menu.
// It does not work. See Menu2/Sub-Menu 1
