[wxPython] Alt+ shortcuts not working

Win98SE, wxPython 2.2.2 and 2.3.1

In some situations the ampersand kind of menu shortcuts don't work as they should. Pressing Alt+key simultanously fails. If you first hit Alt, release and then press the menu key you get what you want, making Alt behave like F10 usually does.

This happens in the wxStaticText-demo. Click on the panel to give it focus. Same thing in an empty wxPanel in a wxFrame and in a wxTextCtrl with wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER-style.

I found this bug but it's been closed:

Win98SE, wxPython 2.2.2 and 2.3.1

In some situations the ampersand kind of menu shortcuts don't work as they
should. Pressing Alt+key simultanously fails. If you first hit Alt,

release

and then press the menu key you get what you want, making Alt behave like
F10 usually does.

This happens in the wxStaticText-demo. Click on the panel to give it

focus.

I don't see it happening here with Win2k or Win98... You may want to bring
this up on wx-users with some more details to see if anybody there is seeing
it too.

Actually I have been seeing this for a while now. None of my accelerator
tables are working and I took them directly from demo code
