JCheckBoxMenuItem does not respond to actions from the keyboard like using up/down arrows to move
between items. Using Spacebar to activate or disactivate a JCheckBoxMenuItem is broken.

To reproduce bug:
1- Compile and run the following code.
2- Use the mouse to open Menu.
3- Use mouse to move up and down the choices
4- Click any JCheckBoxMenuItem and note that is checked
5- click again the same JCheckBoxMenuItem and note that it is unchecked
6- Try using the keyboard arrows to move up and down
7- Note that it can not be done
8- Click Spacebar and note that either Checking or Unchecking the JCheckBoxMenuItem did not happen.
