Ok, that's the only Java app I have installed (because it's the
only one you report bugs for), and the ^O dialog woks fine for
me.

Nope, it tells the server which bindings it needs and the server
sends it only those bindings (with the exception of chained
keys, which require a grab after the first key press). It's more
likely that it's somehow not getting input focus back (or
doesn't think it is). Does its titlebar get any unusual borders?

structured way to write spaghetti code.
