capi:option-pane does not react on pressing the first letter key in LWW4.4

Hello,

Within LWW 4.3, the user can quickly select the option by pressing the first
character. For example,

(setq option-pane (capi:contain
    (make-instance 'capi:option-pane
        :items '(1 2 3 4 5)
        :selected-item 3)))

Now you can quickly select any alternative by pressing the corresponding
numeric key, e.g. 2 or 5. This is working while the drop-down list is shown
as well as when it is not.

In my experience, this feature is removed from LWW 4.4. Could somebody
confirm that?

Hello,

Yes, I see this too.
I'm missing the old behaviour.

Sebastien.

Yes, I have been trying to move an app I wrote in 4.1 to 4.4 and I see this
behaviour.  What happened?  This was a useful feature.  Perhaps there is
some initarg to make this functionality work again?
