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

[Leonid Romanov]

Another thing to note is that we autorepeat pressed key even when press-and-hold popup is being displayed. This not how it works in native apps: if you press and hold a key in TextEdit, you'll immediately get press-and-hold popup 
and there won't be any autorepeats.

Once i hold down the e it starts autorepeating. Moving mouse or using arrow keys do not help much. Any option i have to turn on for that?
