Can you tell me more about your system, including the processor and OS
version?

I'm not able to replicate this behavior on my machines (x86 10.6 or
PowerPC 10.4).
As a simpler test, can you run the program at the bottom of this
message in both the old and new versions and send me screen shots?

I've had one other report of this problem, but I don't yet have a good
idea why Cmd- combinations aren't delivered as key events.
Since I'm not able to replicate the problem on my machines, maybe you
can help me debug the problem. With a few experiments.
The first experiment:
* In "collects/mred/private/wx/cocoa/window.rkt", you add a
`printf' to the start of `do-key-event'. (You won't need to
recompile anything after making the change.)
* Run the program at the end of this message.
* After the program starts, type a key; you should normally see two
printouts from `do-key-event' --- one for the key press and one for
the key release. For a Cmd- combination, you should see a printout
for the key press, but my guess is that you won't see anything when
you type a Cmd- combination.
* Be sure to remove the `printf' before trying to run DrRacket;
printing isn't really allowed at that layer of the system.
A second experiment:
* In "collects/mred/private/wx/cocoa/window.rkt", change the
implementation of `performKeyEquivalent:' in `MyMenuBar'
from
(and the-apple-menu
(tell #:type _BOOL the-apple-menu performKeyEquivalent: evt))
to
(super-tell #:type _BOOL performKeyEquivalent: evt)
* Run GRacket. Does Cmd-A work? Cmd-Q?
A third experiment:
* Change the `performKeyEquivalent:' implementation to just
#t
* Run GRacket. Does Cmd-A work? Cmd-Q?
A fourth experiment:
* Change the `performKeyEquivalent:' implementation to just
#f
* Run GRacket. Does Cmd-A work? Cmd-Q?

I see this on my PowerPC 10.4 machine (though your screen shots look
like 10.5, at least), so I should be able to fix this one.
