When native window loses focus, we call -(void) deactivate method of CMenuBar class. At first, I thought that it basically removes all the menu items from the menu bar, but then I realized that it is not the case, because your fix depends on the fact that the window gaining focus inherits the menu bar from the window that just lost it. Now, consider step 4 of your scenario. Here, the dialog2 is the window that is loosing focus, and dialog1 is the window that is gaining it. As a result of dialog2 loosing focus, the current menu bar gets marked as not active (sActiveMenuBar in CMenuBar is set to false). When dialog1 gains focus, we do nothing with the current menu, because the opposite window (dialog2) doesn't formally have a menu (opposite->javaMenuBar is NULL). This means that dialog1 now has a menu that is formally inactive.

Actually this is not a problem of my fix, this is a problem of 8010906,  
which was implemented on top of "opposite" property instead of "dialog 
parent".  Probably you know why?
I'll try to change it, but not sure is it dangerous to change it now or not.
