ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
macOS 15.3.2 (24D81)

openjdk version "21.0.8" 2025-07-15 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-21.0.8+9 (build 21.0.8+9-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-21.0.8+9 (build 21.0.8+9-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
On macOS, App Shortcuts that are defined in the OS no longer work as expected.
- The custom shortcut no longer works.

p.s. The custom shortcut is still working when the menu is open while the shortcut is used. The custom shortcut is shown in the menu item correctly.



REGRESSION : Last worked in version 8u461

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Register an "App Shortcut" in macOS
- Open System Settings...
- Go to Keyboard
- Open "Keyboard Shortcuts..."
- Go to "App Shortcuts"

Add a shortcut for All Applications
- Click the + icon
- Fill in the menu title: "My Menu Item" (needs to be exact and without the quotes)
- use Shift-Command-R as Keyboard Shortcut

Run the test application
- Open the java test application
- use the shortcut Shift-Command-R

Look at the console logging.
If the menu item is executed successfully, it will print "My Menu Item is executed" in the console

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The menu item gets triggered and "My Menu Item is executed" is printed in the console
ACTUAL -
nothing happens
