Our JavaFX-based desktop app has [an issue](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/7845) — when the user opens 2 instances of the app, one of the instances hangs after a while. While debugging the issue, I found that it's somehow related to the system menu bar — not refreshing it fixes the issue. Further investigations revealed that the app hangs only if we show menus that use F1-F24 shortcuts. This reminded me of the warnings we get about `NSEventModifierFlagFunction specified to -setKeyEquivalentModifierMask` for such shortcuts. I experimented with removing the modifier for these shortcuts, and it helped with our issue!

Hey @kevinrushforth, it's been 2 weeks, and my OCA has still not been reviewed. Any chance you can check/affect this process? This is an important issue for our app 🙏

Hello? @andy-goryachev-oracle maybe you can make the process going?
