<Swing Dev> <AWT Dev> [12] JDK-7124285: Nothing heard from VoiceOver regarding the status of the progress bar

[shashidhara.veerabhadraiah at oracle.com]

The mac platform keyboard shortcuts are specific to mac and they work 
differently as I think we wont be receiving those key strokes at the 
java program level instead they traverse thro' the platform component 
level.

It means java program won't be receiving the accessibility shortcut key 
event at all(With voice over ON) and I verified this by debugging (at 
dispatchKeyEvent()). Because those key strokes are consumed at the OS 
level and it knows the current active window and it traverses thro' the 
top level components of that window(from the accessibility perspective). 
Since they are consumed at OS level, we can't even fix that problem of 
internal traversal of the children components from our end.

Thanks and regards,

Shashi
