> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-1850
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1850
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 11.2
> Environment: macOS Mojave on a Macbook Air (Early 2015), Netbeans Binary
> Reporter: Lukas
> Priority: Major
>
> *The issue*
> This issue concerns macOS only.
> The option key (also known as ⌥ or the alt-key) is no longer recognised by Netbeans after using the option (⌥ / alt) key on the right-hand side. Using the left-hand side on its own works without any problems.
> The option-keys are still available to open an additional bracket. However, any additional functionality is lost.
> After re-opening Netbeans, the program does recognise the option keys again. This, however, only stays until the right-hand option key is pressed again.
> *Steps to reproduce the issue*
> Make sure you are using Netbeans later than 8.2 on macOS.
> # Open any project. Note the *left* option-key is working, e.g. by navigating your code by pressing the *left* option key and the left and right arrows at the same time.
> ** This can be confirmed by opening the keymap settings (Preferences, Keymap) and clicking on "in shortcuts".
> ** After pressing the *left* option key in this field, the symbol of the key is displayed as such.
> ** This shows the *left* option key is perfectly recognised by Netbeans.
> # Press the *right-hand* option key once.
> # Try using any of the option (alt)-keys again in Netbeans. *You will notice both option keys have no effect*.
> ** This can be confirmed by opening the keymap settings (Preferences, Keymap) and clicking on "in shortcuts".
> ** When pressing any of the option keys in this field, the field stays blank.
> ** This shows the option key is *no longer recognised by Netbeans*.
> # Re-open netbeans. Then, try to use the *left* alt-key and note that it works again.
> *About the issue*
> The issue started appearing in Netbeans 9 and is still present in Netbeans 10 and 11. It is not present in Netbeans 8.2.
