Description Venkatesh Prasad Ranganath

I am using I20031010 build and I am trying to assing C-x C-s to File->Save and
C-s to Edit->Incremental Find in Emacs key binding configuration.  I am guessing
due to the second binding, C-x C-s is never matched.  A wild guess will be that
the longest sequence of key strokes are not being matched.

Something seems to recognize that C-x was pressed ("Ctrl+X" shows up on the
bottom of the window, beside "Writable"), but C-x C-s just goes to the C-s binding.

i believe i've isolated the problem. after pressing ctrl+x, i put a breakpoint 
on the press(..) method to watch key strokes coming off of display. i press 
ctrl+s and it never arrives at this method. the only thing that can receive 
key strokes before display is accelerators on the menu (for any menu item with 
a single keystroke accelerator, we put the real accelerator on the menu item, 
not just the accelerator text). though it is redundant, as the display filter 
should capture everytihng, we do this trick to capture native menu behavior 
where possible. for instance, on the mac, if you press a key stroke 
corresponding to a particular menu item, the top level menu of that menu item 
will visibly blink).

ctrl+s is being placed on the incremental find menu item as a real accelerator 
(for some reason it is explicitly defined as an incremental find accelerator 
on emacs when text editing - *kai, is this correct?*)

i need to remove real accelerators off of the menu when we are in a mode. 
(like ctrl+x). this may be expensive, so i'm going to ask SWT if they can give 
me a switch here to turn off the accelerator table.

Another possibiliy is dropping the accelerator table altogether.

This works for me in 3.0.  Please re-open this bug if you see this problem 
again....
