Request for review: 7144063: [macosx] Swing JMenu mnemonic doesn't work; hint misleading; cross symbol typed

[Scott Kovatch]

Alexander,

I recall writing that code originally a very long time ago, so my memory is hazy.  Maybe Mike can do a 'cvs blame' on the old Apple codebase for the original reason I added that check.

I seem to recall it was for handling some of the less common input methods like Bulgarian or Cherokee - Nation that can trigger multiple characters on a single keystroke.

This is not to say your change is wrong, but it would be good to check the test case for why I added that check in the first place.
