Menu keyboard shortcuts not working anymore

[Martin Fox]

Clemens,

Thanks for reporting this. I did some testing and I think I’ve reproduced the problem. What I’m seeing is specific to the Mac; when the focus is in a ComboBox, DatePicker, or Spinner the user can’t use Cmd+Q to quit the app. This also affects other menu items if you’re using the system menu bar. I understand what’s going on and will enter a bug report.

That’s not quite what you’re describing so perhaps there’s more than one issue. If you have further details or a reproducible test case please send them on and I’ll look into it.

Thanks again,
Martin
