Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Open a project with a valid SQL or Oracle data connection.
Right-click a table, and select Design. A table design window opens and receives the focus.
Press and hold down the ALT and "-" key combination. A document context menu appears for a table design window, containing general commands "Restore... Next.."
Hit a mnemonics key for any menu item, such as "C" for "close." No change occurs.
Press "C" again and note that the window closes.

It is expected that the window would close on the first attempt but does not.

NOTE: This is true for all the menu items and all the ways of invoking it. Even if you click "close" on the menu, it will work only on the second attempt.
