alt keys on keyboard

Is there a keyboard mapping that changes the behavior of left/right alt keys in NB11?  The right key seems to have different function than the left one.

This is because of a JDK 9+ change. Please refer similar discussion in

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-663

Thanks,

I also just noticed this.  I used to hit Alt-Enter to activate the quick-fix on the current line.  But the Alt key on the right near the Enter key doesn’t trigger that action. i have to use two hands now - Left-Alt + Enter.
