FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.1_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_02-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_02-b06, mixed mode)

FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
This problem happens on j2se1.4.1_02 and j2se1.4.2, but doesn't happen on j2se1.3.1_07.

The accelerator (eg. control o) of a JMenuItem doesn't work when its parent JMenuBar is inside a JDialog. The accelarator only works when its parent JMenuBar is inside a JFrame.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Run the attached test case
2. When the dialog is visible, press "control o"

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The message "ActionPerformed: Open" should be displayed in the command console, even if the pull down "File" menu is not visible.
ACTUAL -
Nothing

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class DialogTest extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
    public DialogTest() {
        super("Dialog Test");
        setSize(30, 20);

        JMenu menu = new JMenu("File");
        menu.setMnemonic('f');
        JMenuItem menuItem = new JMenuItem("Open");
        menuItem.setMnemonic('o');
        menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("control O"));
        menuItem.addActionListener(this);

        JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
        menu.add(menuItem);
        menuBar.add(menu);

        JDialog dialog = new JDialog(this, "My Dialog", true);
        dialog.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
        dialog.setBounds(100, 100, 100, 100);
        dialog.setVisible(true);
    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
        System.out.println("ActionPerformed: " + e.getActionCommand());
    }

    public static void main(String [] args) {
        try {
            UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.
                                     getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            // do nothing
        }

        DialogTest test = new DialogTest();
        test.setVisible(true);
    }
}
