We have written a java app with a menu and menu accelerators. The problem
is that any one of the menu accelerators will work once and once only -
after that none of the accelerators will work.
The logic for setting up the accelerator I have implemented elsewhere in a
small java app and that works fine.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what is going wrong?
