      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Pressing the ALT key activates the mnemonic field. After the ALT is released, pressing any latter which is mnemonic in a dialog ( can be a label associated to a text field ) will move the focus to that text field.
      But often users are pressing ALT by mistake, and when typing text into a text field won't work.
      Is it possible to automatically disable the mnemonic parsing state after the first key pressed after ALT?
      This will avoid confusion.
      An alternative would be to make the mnemonic work only when both, the ALT and the corresponding key are pressed at the same time, and show the mnemonic letters only as long as the ALT is pressed, and not after is released.
      I would be happy to receive also an advice on my email, if I am wrong with this request or there is a workarround.
