> When tool tip is set for JMenuItem ToolTipManger registers a special key listener for this item. The listener is intended for processing tool tip key bindings, (i.e CTRL + F1) and show or hide tool tip message. However BasicPopupMenuUI.MenuKeyboardHelper handles all key events for menu elements. In other words a menu element such as JMenuItem does not handle a key event directly. As a result the tool tip messages, which is set for JMenuItem, cannot be shown using CTRL + F1 combination.
