CafeTran

Torsten and me are facing the problem that after a certain time the Alt key stops working: navigating becomes a problem. Quitting and restarting CafeTran solves the problem.

We're both on Java 9 now and since then the problem started.

Maybe it has something to do with this here

https://coderanch.com/t/627387/java/ALT-Key-working-Java-internal (last posting, "InternalFrame close method was calling setClosed(true)".

Keys do not suddenly stop working, there must a reason

I do not find anything on "Alt-Key stops working" in correlation with "Java 9", when asking Google. Java problem? Swing problem with Java 9? Probably, but only with some specific problem.

• Buffer overflow (not enough RAM, memory inconsistencies happening after a time "x")? In my case, perhaps, but not for Hans, who is a RAM hamster. Well, maybe Java 9 has a different memory allocation/administration.
  
• A small glitch in some of the newer features?
  
• Any command that does not work good with Java 9? 

Note to myself and to Hans: Maybe minimizing and maximzing the CT windows helps (I read this somewhere this morning when searching for probable Java issues). But it did not happen yet today (but yesterday about 4 times).

>Navigating between words on Mac OSX (ALT+LEFT and ALT+RIGHT) are system shortcuts and they work in Java too.

Yes. I know. But they stop working in CafeTran, while they keep working in other apps (native ones).

Yes, it needs longer working to make it happen. And: if it would be a KM problem (of course I've thought of that), wouldn't the fact that after quitting CafeTran the problem is solved, indicate that it's not KM related?

It interferes with navigation via ALT+LEFT and ALT+RIGHT. (The latter is BTW never correct.)
