I'm developing an application on Windows 95, and here's the problem. I'd like
"Ctrl+F10" or just "F10" to invoke a method, but F10 key is not reliable. When
Ctrl+F10 or F10 is pressed, this event gets passed down to key listener
only every other time. (All other function keys seem to be fine.)

Here's a simple code to reproduce this behavior:

---- Code start ----

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

import javax.swing.*;

public class KeyListenerTest extends JFrame
{

  public static void main(String[] argv)
  {
    new KeyListenerTest().initFrame();
  }

  void initFrame()
  {
    setBounds(100,100,200,100);
    setTitle("Key Listener Test");
    JLabel l = new JLabel("Press F10 to see the System out...");
    getContentPane().add(l);

    addListeners();

    setVisible(true);
  }

  void addListeners()
  {
    this.addWindowListener
    ( new WindowAdapter()
      { public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
        { closeWindow(); } } );

    this.addKeyListener
    (
      new KeyAdapter()
      {
        public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
        {
          System.out.println("keyPressed()");
          if(e.getKeyCode()==java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_F10)
          {
            System.out.println("F10 pressed...");
          }
        }
      }
    );

  }

  public void closeWindow()
  {
    setVisible(false);
    dispose();
    System.exit(0);
  }
}


---- Code end ----
was able to reproduce it on WIN NT also, but not in the Sparc Solaris distribution.
