Description




On Windows-95 Windows, there are two ways to make
the system menu appear: Alt-space and Alt, space.
(Alt-space means hold down Alt and type space.
Alt, space means type and release Alt, then hit
the space bar.)

Alt, space works fine, but Alt-space doesn't work.

======================================================================




Alt-spacebar for the Windows l&f should bring up the menu in
the corner, but it doesn't.

According to 4634874, this is also reproducible on CDE.  According to 
 xxxxx@xxxxx , this is going to be an accessibility issue, and needs 
to be addressed.
