             Summary: macOS: Option (alt) key not recognised after typing 
brackets { or [
                 Key: NETBEANS-1850
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1850
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 9.0, 10.0
         Environment: macOS Mojave, Netbeans Binary
            Reporter: John


*The issue*

This issue concerns macOS only.

The option key (also known as the alt-key) is no longer recognised by Netbeans 
after opening a curly or squared bracket, i.e. after typing *{* or *[*.

Netbeans automatically closes brackets by default. However, even with this 
feature disabled, the alt-key still stops working after pressing one of these 
keys.

*Steps to reproduce the issue*

The bug can be confirmed by opening the keymap settings and searching "in 
shortcuts". When pressing the option key in this field, the field stays blank.

After re-opening Netbeans, the program does recognise the option key again 
until a bracket is opened.

*About the issue*

The issue started appearing in Netbeans 9 and is still present in Netbeans 10. 
It is not present in Netbeans 8.2.
