From the main Workbench view, click the Task menu (drop down arrow) and select
Sorting. There are duplicated mnemonics for (D) and (A).

See the attached screenshot.

Same is true of Filters drop down menu (D is used twice).  This from bug 69424.

Stefan, could you investigate.  I would like to get the 3.0.1 bugs signed off 
as soon as we can.

Changing to critical per Eclipse Build Call discussion

Comment 6 Kevin Haaland

Multiple mnemonics are not critical. Suggest deferring this defect report.

Comment 7 Steven Wasleski

2004-07-30 09:53:34 EDT

Agreed, this can be moved to 3.1.

Comment 8 David W Hare

lowering to major per Steve's request

Comment 9 Michael Van Meekeren

3.1, the strings (with mnemnonics) are used in mulitple places as well.

This is the most severely misclassified bug I've ever seen. For a description of
bug severities, please see:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/bug_status.html#severity 

This would be "critical" if the filters dialog caused Eclipse to terminate
unexpectedly or deleted one of the user's files. (For an example of a critical
bug, see bug 16955)

This would be "major" if the entire filters dialog didn't do anything or failed
to open. (See bug 67590 for an example of a real major bug)

This would be "normal" if the buttons with duplicate mneumonics didn't do
anything (they are themselves rarely-used features with easy workarounds).

A simple workaround for this bug is to "press the tab key". That makes it minor
or trivial. 

Filing bugs with incorrect severities makes it hard to find truly important bugs
(imagine a world where bugs like bug 67590 were left unfixed because everyone
was busy fixing misaligned text, incorrect fonts, and duplicate mneumonics).

Fixed in head

Comment 12 Stefan Xenos

2004-10-05 22:19:48 EDT

I feel bad about writing the flame in comment 10... this was just the most
recent of several misclassified bugs in my inbox and I overreacted. Thanks for
reporting the problem.

:-(

this Fix introduced problems with translation in bug 105809, we need to go back
and fix it by changing the duplicates directly in the strings.
