Hi

Using Java 2 and Swing :

How is it possible to force the focus to be sent to a menu when it is
"apparently" activated using a mnemonic.

When the focus is in a JTextPane within the frame, I use the mnemonic
and the menu displays, however, the focus is still within the
JTextPane and I cannot select any menu items using the arrow keys -
only the mouse works. When I exit from the menu, the mnemonic
character is even displayed in the text pane.

Is there any way of avoiding this? It seems as though the focus is not
being sent correctly to the selected menu unless I use the mouse.

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions
