I've just received an update from Jayatana's PPA that fixes this (in Trusty).
The update is not yet available in the official Ubuntu repositories, so do not mark the issue as fixed yet! Don't know when the update will be available there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1415287 Title: Cannot access menus using the keyboard in Java swing applications with jayatana To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jayatana/+bug/1415287/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
